14 best we can. l..et's surprise the faculty by making a great improvement in hard work and perseverance. SOPHOMORE NOTES Again the happenings of the sophomore class are recorded for the DIAL. There has been a basketball game be- tween the freshmen and sophomore boys. The sophomores are keeping up the stand- ards of last year, coming out victorious in the first two games. The girls have had two games with the same classes competing, the sophomores winning in the first with a score of 10-0, and in the second 5-4, the sophomores gaining the upper hand in about the last two minutes. Five sophomore girls have star parts in the Operetta and many more participating in minor parts. Since the last DIAL the sophomores, along with the rest of the pupils of B, H. S., have survived the mid-year exam- inations. On account of mid-year's, there have not been so many social affairs as usual. But remember, sophs, we want more events to recall scholastic and social activity next time. COMMERCIAL CLUB At the January meeting of the Commer- cial Club, we had the pleasure of listening to a most interesting speech given by Miss Angier. This speech, which proved to be very entertaining, was'on the subject of Character Reading. Immediately after the reports from the secretary, Irene Boyd, and the treasurer, Erwin Baker, the social committee took charge. At the close of the meeting, re- freshments of punch and wafers were served. The December meeting of the Commer- cial Club was in the form of a Christmas party. The club room was prettily decorated in trimmings characteristicof the season. After the regular business meeting the social committee took charge. At this time, ten-cent presents were exchanged by the members of the club. All were so highly amused over the presents they received that they entered into the games which were played with high and lively spirits. At the close of the meeting refreshments of punch and wafers were served. lt may be of interest to B. H. S, alumni to know that the Honorable James Baggf' who with the other members of his family figures so largely in the morning talks given by 'lCheerio over the radio, is also an alumnus of B. H. S., of the class of '99. He is also a brother of Miss Elizabeth Bagg of the present B. H. S. faculty. Eiga Rial BUSINESS PRACTICE CLUB The first meeting of the Business Prac- tice Club was held in the Annex on Tues- day evening at 7:30. At this time the new members were initi- ated. The various tasks which each per- formed were highly amusing to the on-look- ers. A feature of great interest was the boxing matches, which characterized the Dempsey-Sharkey and Dempsey-Tunney fights. A business meeting was then held, at which Irene Boyd, the secretary, read the Constitution of the Club. Robert Campbell, president, extended a hearty welcome to the new members. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts were served. The initiation committee consisted of Frances Bennett, Ruth Davis and Helen Darling. The regular meeting of the Business Prac- tice Club was held on Tuesday evening, No- vember 1. The first part of the evening was devoted to the business committee. Irene Boyd read the secretary's report and Robert Campbell gave a statement on our financial standing. Gladys Bruce, who represented Vermont at the National Typewriting Con- test in New York, told us of her experiences while on her trip to New York and Wash- ington. As this meeting was in the form of a Hallowe'en party, many of the games and stunts characteristic of such evenings were played and performed. At the end refreshments of punch and wafers were served. DRAMATIC CLUB President Clarence Watson called the first meeting of the Dramatic Club to order at 8:00 o'c1ock on Tuesday evening, Novem- ber 8, 1927, in the Green Street School Build- ing. No new business was brought up and, as there was no old business to be discussed, the secretary pro tem read the Constitution. Miss Fitzgerald then gave thetname and cast of the play which was presented by sev- eral members of the club. This was very ex- citing to some who feared the lantern would get knocked off the table. The following persons took part: Elwin Smith, Marjorie Greenwood, Gor- don Thomas, and Ralph Eldridge. The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 o'clock, and every one rushed to the kitchen where Happetizingl' refreshments of hot chocolate, sandwiches and cheese crackers awaited. v Mr. Boylston: How was Wolfe going to capture Quebec, on horseback or by train? Voice: By force. W. J.

You have an interesting magazine. Your 16 3 . iuilni vi ,L A 'For many days we had been tempest- tossed. Six times had the darkness closed over a wild and terrific scene, and return- ing light as often brought renewed dis- tress, for the raging storm increased in fury until on the seventh day all hope was lost. VVe were driven completely out of our courseg no conjecture could be formed as to our whereabouts. The crew had lost heart and were utterly exhausted by incessant labor. The riven masts had gone by the board, leaks had been sprung in every direction, and the water, which had rushed in, gained upon us rapidly. lThe Swiss Family Robinsonl Such was the plight of my friend and I. We struck a reef with a crash, and on a hastily constructed raft we drifted aimlessly around, Finally reaching land. Feeling adventurous we decided to explore. Accordingly we set out. Our footsteps seemed to be in some mysterious manner attracted in the direction of a large bunch of rocks. There to our surprise we found a mammoth cave! We ventured in cau- tiously and there in the innermost depths was an old iron-bound chest. It took us some time to drag the chest out into the open. Once there, however, be Well worth the effort, for it we discovered a valuable old manuscripts, and on top it proved to upon opening collection of was: The Green and White-Manila. Next came into view and was undoubt- edly a treasure well worth finding. Its source also lent a particular enchantment to the reading of the magazine, We cer- tainly enjoyed this magazine and spent a long time between its covers. The R. H. S. Searchlight-Richford, Vt. Now the Searchlight came into view. The Alumni Notes were very cleverly written up. A few cuts would have im- proved the magazine. The Register-Burlington, Vt. This was next in our line of vision. This magazine had a line Literary de- partment, but we thought it would have looked better if it were placed in the front rather than in the back of the paper. The cuts were quite original. Away over in the corner We discovered The Peals-Orange, Mass. The Orange High School students pub- The Eial lished this magazine and are to be compli- mented on their fine work. Every depart- ment was well taken care of and showed careful preparation. The Sutherland-Proctor, Vt. This one was almost at the very bottom of the pile. We like especially well The Senior Roll Call. All the poems show that the students must have a very high poetic ability. AS OTHERS SEE US THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt. K Your cover is very attractive and ap- propriate for the autumn season. You have a hne Literary and French Depart- ment. VVhy not have a few more real and laughable jokes?-The Orange Peals, Orange, Mass. THE DIAL-BfHttlCbOfO, Vt. We like the idea of a Science Depart- ment. Your paper is most interesting, but some cuts would greatly improve its appearance,-R. H. S. Searchlight, Rich- ford, Vt. I THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt. It is always a pleasure to read a copy of THE DIAL. One is always sure to find much of interest between its covers.-Ver- mont Arademy Life, Saxtons River, Vt. THE DIAL-Bf3ttlCbOfO, Vt. Literary Department demands praise- The Catarnonnt, Bennington, Vt. THE DIAL-Brattleboro, Vt. Yours is a compact and well-arranged magazine. Your stories, A Pattern for a Beauty Dress and Melisande Steps Out were clever and showed much originality. Your department Book Chat is interest- ing as well as instructive. Your cover de- sig11 shows skill and it cleverly illustrates spring. VVhy not add a few more jokes to your magazine ?-The Ronfian, Rome, Geor- gia. THE DIAL-Bf3ttl6bOfO, Vt. We were very impressed by the excellent style of the article, When the Geese Fly South. Harold March has great possibili- ties. The Art of Study was quite clever. The page Parva Sed Apta had some very fine articles in it. The French Depart- ment was cleverg but do you not think one page would have been sufficient? We liked the Science Department, especially the arti- cle, The Metric System in Everyday Af- fairs. Good luck to THE DIAL.-.ElZSfE?'7l Echo, Baltimore, Md. P. S.
