ACH year for the past forty-six years a class, with its many friends and its honorable fac- ulty, has assembled here, to celebrate the anniversary of the Class day exercises of Brattle- boro High School. As we go on through these exercises, which mark the commencement of a new part of our lives, we realize, more fully, how much our parents, advisers, and teachers have done for us. VVe take this time to express our heartiest appreciation and most sincere gratitude to those who have helped us so much in the foundation of our careers. Classmates-We separate now, each to go his own way and to solve his own problems. It is a great task with which we are affronted, and should be taken in af great way. No minor points should be omittedg at every opportunity we should lend a helping handy we should not neglect any chance to increase our knowledge, or to prove ourselves worthy of this school, which is so dear to us. We are the citizens of tomorrow. This phrase, which has been repeated to us throughout our school life, has a greater meaning to us now. The time is here for us to show how well we have listened to and learned the noble teachings of our faculty. We are the makers of history and may we make a history, which will shine above the successful efforts of our valiant fore- fathers. Let us always remember and live up to our Class Motto, Every man is the architect of his own futurefl Alumni, parents, friends, and members of the faculty, it is with the greatest of pleasure that I, in behalf of the class of 1930, welcome you to the Class Day exercises of Brattleboro High School. -CHESTER SHAW. Cl.Aff DDA-fl 0 N THE KING or INSTRUMENTS HE pipe organ is the most magnificent of all musical instruments. Its indivi- duality, its enthralling tone, and its un- equaled power have brought it to bear the well-deserved title King of Instruments. From the era when the ancient Roman theatres were at the height of their pop- ularity, down through the ages, the proto- types of the modern instrument have taken an important place in the rising institutions of civilization. The earliest known wind intrument not blown by the human lungs was a device constructed by an Alexandrian barber, Ctesibius, who, during the third century BC., constructed a contrivance by which a trumpet could be blown by forcing air through it. Hero, an engineer of the times, applied the invention to a row of trumpets representing a musical scale in such a manner that any one of the trumpets could be sounded by pushing a button under- neath itg air was pumped through the in- strument by several slaves, and kept at a constant pressure by water, whence the name hydraulus. This instrument was the precursor of the pipe organ. It rapidly gained much popularity, both for its novelty and for the powerful sounds pro- duced. During the next few centuries the hydrau- lus was improved and enlarged, oftentimes containing as many as sixty pipes arranged in three rows, corresponding to the modern stop. It was early noted that pleasing con- trasts were obtained when two or three notes were sounded together, later the idea occurred that several notes might be played from a single key, producing a chord. This was the beginning of harmony, and organs were soon built consisting of several hun- dred pipes, thirty or forty of different pitch for each key. Two required to pound the heavy keys with their fists, and a score or more the bellows. The sound enormous, but certainly of screaming tone. Nevertheless such in- organists were slaves to raise produced was 3. Vefy COZLYSC, struments as these were used until the fourteenth century when many improve- ments were designed. Indeed, the fourteenth and fifteenth cen- turies constituted the period of the most prolific improvement in the history of the famous instrument. Heretofore no prac- tical method had been introduced of con- trolling the power of the instrument, and the performer was obliged to use the full organ all the time. There came from the Netherlands a device whereby each set of pipes might be independently shut off from the wind supply and tlms silenced, and about the same time the slider action was reinvented, which was a more efhcient means to the same end. The latter might be considered one of the most important improvements in organ building, for upon it rests the possibility of the great variety of tone color, a characteristic in which the organ reigns supreme. The mammoth key- boards of the older instruments were also Cliontinued on Page 463 6 THE DIAL CLAII 'EIIAY THE PASSION PLAY OF OBER-AMMERGAU MIDST the beauty and magnificence of the steep mountains of Tyrol, there lies Ober-Ammlergau, this year the mecca of people of all types and represent- ing all Christian nations, seeking its in- spirational decennial presentation of the life of the Christus as portrayed by its celebrated Passion Play. The village itself, distinctive only for its regular, spectacular productions, does not differ from the other German hamlets in its simplicity and un- affectedness. The more pretentious resi- dences are usually made of cement, cov- ered with whitewashed plaster. These are sometimes decorated with strange varieties of frescoes, some pretty and grotesque, often peculiarly dissimilar as to theme. Towering two thousand feet above the vil- lage there rises an impressive mountain, called the Kofel, topped by a mighty cross, influencing the solemnity of Ober-Ammer- gau's purposeful production. Nearby, tour- ists may find a marked contrast to the rude surroundings of the villagers in the splen- dor of the Palace of Linderhof and in the imposing structure of the old Benedictine monastery of Ettal which was founded in 1332. Also, in the village there is a school of sculpture, incredible as it may sound, to develop the art of Wood-carving in which the townspeople are remarkably proficient. This study, together with their decennial dramatic ventures, furnishes them an out- let for their artistic tastes. The people are not in the least conceited or extortion- ate, but are unspoiled, honest, and su- premely obliging. Nearly three hundred years ago a plague was raging in this region of Bavaria. Ober- Ammergau alone had lost one hundred peo- ple. At that time the terrified survivors made a sacred vow that, if further ravages of the disease were abated, they would faithfully perform the drama of the life of Christ each ten years, for the instruc- tion of mankind. Evidently their prayer was realized for the town suffered no more deaths, and, ever since, it has been the duty and privilege of these people to fulfill the promise of their ancestors, until now it is a sacred obligation passed from genera- tion to generation. The theme of the play has been revised and changed from performance to per- formance until at last it has reached its 4' + ,Ac CLASS POEM I Time holds for all the self same tasks Gives each his part to play, Brings pleasures, toil, defeat, success Rewards us for a day. Our high school days have sped us on Made comrades all more dear, Ideals are brought for which to work Made rich each passing year. And so the clock in circling 'round Has ticked off four short years Now for our play, so full of joy Though sprinkled, through, with tears. But mingled thus with carefree mirth For sadness to atone VVl1at higher roles you give to us What goals to make our own. The happy time of our school days At least for some is done, And all for us, the stage is set The play has now begun. Oh, some may go to other lands May join another cast, But always in the future years Your memory we'll hold fast. Dear Alma Mater, oh, so soon You'll see the drama start And know when comes the curtain call How each has played his part. To you who have prepared our way Our hearts made sure and strong, Our love you hold, for you we stand To you we raise our song. -ELINOR I-IoLD1-:N Music by Thelma Field P ev'- + + present high standard. One of its most ardent promoters was a former pastor of the village, Father Daisenberger, who died in l883. He devoted his entire life to the mental and spiritual elevation of his peo- pleg he influenced them to remove their performance from their churchyard to a suitable open-air theatre, he revised the original text of the play and prepared many admirable dramas on religious subjects for the training of the players to a higher standard of dramatic appreciation. The play in its first performances was in all probability very crude and realistic, for then the Devil was one of the most prominent characters, exercising his influ- ence upon Judas in a most obvious manner. Another of the ancient parts that is now omitted is the opening in which a messen- ger rushes upon the stage with a letter from The Prince of Hellf' admonishing the audience to make all the disturbance possible for he will reward them well when they will subsequently visit him. But these and many other grotesque features of the play have gradually disappeared until now it is well adapted to the tastes and ideas of today, assuming its individual standard as the most symbolical represen- tation of a Miracle, f'Mystery, or Pas- sion play. The casting of the play is one of the most important political events in the lives of the people of Ober-Ammergau. A com- mittee of forty-five villagers headed by the priest assigns the parts on election day in the last week of December of the year pre- ceding the decennial performance. The members of the committee assemble in the church for mass before indicating their choice, probably that they may be influ- enced only,by purest motives. After the assignment is made, each player is required to have individual rehearsals of his part at least four times a week, and the final rehearsals are well started months before the first performance of the season. One man portraying the Christ is said to have practised hours at a time hanging over the limb of a tree, in preparation for the stren- uous twenty minutes which he would spend upon the cross in the Calvary scene. It might be well to mention that his only sup- port in the scene comes from hooks in the CContinued on Page 465 NTHUSIASTIC students have been cheering for Brattleboro High School for nearly one hundred years. The first graduation exercises took place ninety- seven years ago. Ever since December fourth, seventeen hundred eighty-two Cl782j, when the first decision in regard to Public Schools was made by the citizens of Brattleboro, they had, undoubtedly, planned for an institu- tion of higher education. Of course there were many private Academies and Semi- naries in Brattleboro and the surrounding villages, but they didnlt belong to the town. The private Academy at West Brattleboro was far from the East Village, and the private High School on the Common-why they had about one hundred and ninety pupils a11d only two teachers! In eighteen hundred thirty-two a group of public- spirited citizens of Brattleboro formed a High School Association which was con- stituted to establish a High School for young masters, ladies, and misses in the 'East Village., 'y Eleven trustees: John Hol- brook, Frances Goodhue, Joseph Fessen- den, john L. Dickerman, Gardner C. Hall, Samuel Root, Paul Chase, Henry Smith, Henry Clark, Phillip Hall and William Hays, were placed in charge. The school remained under their jurisdiction for ten years, then it was sold to the district. Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Goodhue were at the time the joint owners of the land on which the High School now stands and a good bit of the surrounding territory as well. They sold all of this land except a lot set aside for the school building, and the proceeds helped the Association's finan- cial problems. Work on the building was begun at once and the first session of B. H. S. was held in the early part of eighteen hundred thirty-three. The schoolhouse was a two- story wooden structure painted white. Last year the class of eighteen hundred eighty-four, the last class to graduate from the old building, gave to all the Alumni pictures of their Alma Mater as a remem- brance of their 'fforty-fifth birthday. Up to the year eighteen hundred sixty- three practically the only record to be found of the activities of B. H. S. is a note- book once owned by Addison Hale who, in THE DIAL IVY OIQATIDN GLIMPSES OF THE PAST a spurt of Freshman enthusiasm, copied down a list of subjects taught and the names of the scholars, seventy-one in num- ber, and even then one more girl than boy. But when at last they had acquired a Public High School, the citizens were not entirely satisfied. They wanted to improve their possession, not as to property but system. In eighteen hundred forty-one a committee was appointed first to decide upon and then to incorporate a better school system. The committee adopted that of our neighbor, Massachusetts. Inci- dentally, Brattleboro was the hrst Vermont town to adopt this system. The system was a great success and the splendid schools of Brattleboro proved to be a strong induce- ment to many to settle here. On Monday, April thirteenth, eighteen hundred sixty-three, began a new era for Brattleboro High School. On that day a dynamic personality came to guide the youth of Brattleboro-Mr. B. F. Bingham, a natural-born schoolmaster. As if by magic the whole atmosphere changed, rule, order, and accomplishment stepped to the fore. Mr. Bingham, too, seemed pleased and con- tent for he remained at his post as principal until his death in eighteen hundred eighty- nine when all Brattleboro mourned the loss of their beloved master. Brattleboro was fortunate also to have Mrs. blames P. Elmer CStella Elmerj as assistant principal. Mrs. Elmer served the school faithfully for thirty years in this capacity. Since the year eighteen hundred eighty- nine, B. H. S. has been served by eight principalsg Mr. McLashlen, Mr. James D. Horne, Mr. Hobart Whittaker, Mr. Edgar Smith, Mr. VVarren, Mr. Caverly, Mr. Stevens, and now Mr. Wiggin. In eighteen hundred eighty-four, B. H. S. was presented a new brick building which is still very much in use! How enthusiastic the scholars must have been over such a splendid building even though they were sorry to have the old familiar structure torn down. Let us go back to the days when our B. H. S. was new-say to eighteen hundred ninety-about forty years ago. VVhat were they studying then? Were the courses any- thing like those of today? 7 From the old School Reports we learn that there were four courses of study. The Commercial Course was only two years in length and the subjects were, beside English, Algebra, Geography, History, Arithmetic and Bookkeeping. The English Course was four years in length. The first two years were the same as the Commercial, but the juniors and Seniors studied Astronomy, Chemistry, Zoology, Geology, and Botany. The two other courses were each four years in length. The Latin Course differed from tl1e English only in one respect, that Latin was substituted for Algebra. The Classical Course included Greek' and one term of French. Music and Drawing were required sub- jects. Music had been introduced into the curriculum by Edward Clark, the leader of the Unitarian Church Choir, in eighteen hundred sixty-three. A period of Rhetori- cal Expression, as Senior speeches were termed in the good old days, was held every Vtlednesday afternoon in the As- sembly Hall. Do you know we really aren't as modern as we think we are? It is most interesting to read the old School Committee Reports and chuckle over the familiar expressions. Way back in eighteen hundred ninety- three they had a discussion concerning the advisibility of changing from a one-session to a two-session plan. In the course of the argument set forth by the principal, who favored the one-session plan, we discover the fact that 'fafternoon sessions are held daily as punishment for unpreparedness i11 recitation and for unruly conduct. The statement by the principal to the ef- fect that the students are crowded and if a new building cannot be financed at least an addition should be made is ancient history. Principal James D. Horne originated the phrase in tl9Olj nineteen hundred one. Later he was rewarded by having a room in the third story finished for class work. Possibly twenty-nine years of continued repetition have worn down the sales resist- ance of the townspeople perhaps in the near future-who knows? By nineteen hundred six, athletics had won a prominent place in High School activities and received much praise in the Report. CContinued on Page 471 8 HY guess? Let's knowf' is our pre- sent watchword. For some reason or reasons too complex for us to begin to explain the public conceptions of science have revolutionized in three-score years from scepticism to confidence. This is a scientific age, an age when the World has one prime demand, facts and more facts. Formerly, science was only the pastime of a few advanced scholars and the artisan was bewildered not to say aggravated when informed that he was applying scientific principles. How much science has come to mean, being applied to everything from physics to life insurance. Science has created the new and improved the old till the rut confining man for centuries is all but obliterated. Of the three ways which man has of carrying on business by rule, by hunches and by facts, it was left to the twentieth century to prove the superiority of the last. Consider the pains and the money which business men are spending to pry open the secrets of nature. The tree ring calendar, of which most people have at least heard, is at length stubbornly revealing the secrets of a varied climate of the Southwest. By such information it is hoped to intrench firmly the nomadic agricultural population of the region. Science too is for the most part the stabilizing agent of insurance com- panies. The risks of accident among people have been carefully charted over a period of years until a specialist can fix with as- surance a rate fair to the customer and the company. At the birth of our country all of the publications could be enumerated with the fingers of one hand. See what the desire for fact, instant fact has caused! Books, newspapers, and magazines, some with a million patrons. News must be new. Such a demand is what backs a message go- ing twice around the world in'two hours and thirty-five minutes. The public de- mands speed, science must produce it. Now for the discoveries in physics and their enlightening effects. The internal combustion engine holds the balance of much of our present prosperity. A new found power supplants our muscular energy. The automobiles which first ap- peared as toys only numbered eight thou- sand in 1900 and even the great financier, J.

Ever up, you strive and conquer Each new task which looms above, May we climb your faultless ladder, Every round, a deed of love. Scar on scar you cover over VVith a veil of silvery sheen, May we follow your example, That our griefs may not be seen.

Morgan, refused to invest in such a Wild- cat scheme. Nevertheless there are enough automobiles in the United States to carry the entire population. The once despised gasoline engine, weight equivalent to a horse, now develops four hundred times as much energy. A new cracking process is now used to separate the gasoline from the crude oil. Science has met the emergency otherwise we would not have gasoline for many automobiles. The automobile and its accessories now engage thousands of work- men. My kingdom now for a spare tire not a horse. Once the problem would have been who would feed all the workers thus engaged, but chemistry has meanwhile solved or partly solved that too, I say partly be- cause science will never be complete. Im- provements in fertilizers have increased the potato yield three hundred and fifty bushels to the acre and other crops accordingly. One man with modern machinery is doing the work formerly done by ten. Only by science do we eat smooth apples. Can we fiy? Who says, no. He is just a half a century behind. Through the pioneer efforts of Wright Brothers and others, we must not forget Lindbergh, we are conquering the upper regions. They have by no means been subjugated. The last test failed to bring a fool-proof plane even though the Curtiss Company was awarded first prize. We watch with awe the feats of the German Zeppelins, and owe to science the discovery of helium which removes the dread of fire from these ships of the sky. For a rough estimate as to what the speed- of the aeroplane will approach in 1960 note that there were eight thousand automobiles in the United States three de- cades ago. At present there are eight thousand aeroplanes. The auto in thirty years has increased its speed four fold. What will the aeroplane with a speed of one hundred fifty miles an hour develop thirty years hence? Six hundred and fifty miles an hour, believe it or not! This is an epoch of endurance and speed, the Bremen with her turbines, and her sister ship vying to crack the hours and minutes from the Atlantic voyage. Through the ether now travels the human voice with tContinued on Page 473 Freshman Year N' September seventh, nineteen hun- dred and twenty-six, one hundred and forty-one fearless voyagers set sail on the ocean liner, B. H. S. VVC had never ridden on such a vessel before, and the experi- enced travelers regarded us as quite green. We did not know if the waves were to be turbulent or calm and peaceful. At the first asseirbly, September ninth, everyone stood up and greeted us heartily which made most of us blush, stumble, and feel still more insignificant. However, Mr. Stevens put us at ease, and told us the daily routi11e of a frosh life. A large wave rolled over the men in our party on September tenth when they were innocently listening to a band concert on the lower deck. Accordingly, a larger ship was built the next year so such accidents would not happen again, Before we were far out at sea we found we needed a captain to guide the good ship. VVe bestowed this honor upon Michael Dube. He insisted he needed a helper, so Elinor Holden was chosen as his partner. important matters were filed by Grace Hec- tor, while Richard VVilder was given the arduous duty of collecting money. Rena Farr was his able assistant. Our first party, the Freshman get-to- gether, came on September seventeenth. This was the first year that such a party was given, and for the first time we felt at home. On October fifteenth the annual Freshman Blowout took place. XNe Freshies enjoyed it immensely. Before long our first DIAL was published, and we found it was dedicated to us, the Freshmen. On closer observation we found stories there written by illustrious authors from the class of thirty. There were plenty of activities on our ship. Helen Thompson and Perry Howe were chosen to represent the class on the Student Council. We could also point with pride at our athletes. Mike Dube, Lloyd Goodnow, Bill Rancourt, and Freddie Searls helped carry the pigskin, and these four with John Baker were the candidates for basketball. Mike was also on the track team and Lloyd was a great asset on the baseball diamond. These brought honor to the class, and supplied the upper classmen with real competition. The girls' basketball team came out second in the fight for championship. We were well represented on the general and maximum honor roll, being second on the list for percentage. A contest was held to see who would be the Freshman reporter. This honor went to Elinor Holden, who then became a mem- ber of the Dml. Board. THE DIAL CLAII I-IIITDIQY A great naany of our members were mu- sical, eight being in the orchestra, and seven in the band. A large number were also in the glee clubs, VVith January came our first taste of exams, but we pulled through more or less successfully, and then were ready for the finals which came at the end of our first trip in B. H. S. In June our ship landed in the Sopho- more port, after having been on a success- ful voyage almost free from molestation. -GRACE Hizcron Sophomore Year On September sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, one hundred and thirty- three members of the class of 1930 re- entered the portals of B. H. S. VVe had elevated ourselves from that noticed and obscure class, called Freshies. We had one year which we and our intellects had the privilege Sophomores. It was our chief omores to set a so broadened our minds in that had spent as Freshmen, so developed that We of being full pledged aim and duty as Soph- good example for the class of Freshmen, who were following our footsteps. It was our privilege to have William Rancourt as chief executive to pilot in time of need, while for his most able assistant we chose Rena Farr. Grace Hector served for his most able secretary. John Baker was elected treasurer, while Mary O'Brien aided him most efficiently. The old custom of hazing having been dropped, we, the Sophomores, introduced the practice of rope pulling, on account of which the Freshies received at our hands, at least one clean bath. VVe were represented on the football team by Mike Dube, Red Searls, Bill Rancourt, and Lloyd Goodnow, all of whom we were very proud of. The Sophomores also did their part in basket- ball, having Bill Rancourt, Mike Dube and Richard Bugbee as candidates. Our able representatives, who efficiently handled the laws and rules of the Student Council, were Jeannette Miller and Richard Wilder. Our advancement to the Sophomore class must have had some effect for we had three Sophomore names on the Super Honor Roll, and sixteen on the General Honor Roll for the second marking period, Our DIAL reporter, Elinor Holden, fur- nished interesting Sophomore Notes for the DLAL, and an immediate glance at the other departments of our magazine will show lruch literary ability from the class of '30, 9 The operetta, which took place on the nineteenth and the twentieth of April, was very well conducted through the aid and ability of many Sophomores. Although no Sophomores took part in the annual high school play they supported it one hundred per cent. The social affairs of our High School Year started with the Freshman party. The party was given in honor of the Freshies in order that they might mingle and be- come acquainted with the upper classmen. The football banquet, track dance, and Junior Prom proved most successful. The Sophomore Senior party was not held this year because of a unanimous rejection on the part of the Seniors in whose honor it was to be held. The Sophomore Class was well repre- sented in various clubs and because of this the clubs became bigger and better. The class of 1930 entered the Sophomore Year, which was greatly enjoyed both scholastically and socially, with the grim determination of making next year, 0111- Junior Year, better than ever. -Joniv BAKER Junior Year When school opened on Wednesday, Sep- tember 5, 1928, we thought we were as im- portant as we needed to be, and having been foolish Freshmen and Sophomores, we set about being dignified Juniors with a will. VVe have one hundred eight members at this time. We noticed that B. H. S. had had sev- eral changes and additions made during the summer. Notionly was history to be taught in Room ll, but a new piano indicated that the room was to be the center of musical activity as well. Over all the building fresh paint and varnish on walls and desks gave a silent welcome to all. We found ourselves in Rooms 24, 25, and 35. We who were in 35 recalled our fresh- man days spent in that very room and were indeed glad to be shifted to Room 11, a room of more prominence in B. H. S. and more suited to our newly acquired dignity. We were glad to welcome two new teach- ers, Miss Leighton and Mr. Jolmston. Groups cannot progress without leaders, and so we elected John Baker as class presi- dent, Elinor Holden as vice-president, Elizabeth Franklin as secretary, Chester Shaw as treasurer, and Beatrice Bangs as assistant treasurer. Our first social time was the Blowout where we Juniors were glad to be present as upper classmen not having been obliged to fCoutinued on Page 483 10 THE DIAL CLAII DIQUDHECY We've sailed afar to foreign lands, Adventurous maids we be. Although we stand before you now Our hearts are still at sea. We disguised ourselves as sailor-lads Enlisting on a boat Owned by that Black Chief Chester Shaw A scheming old cut-throat! VVe've met some pirates bold and bad, But what care we, a-hoy! They daunt us not, those galley-slaves, They're but to us like toys! VVe worked like slaves from morn 'till night, XfVith beatings from the chief, But he was killed on the last trip out, Not greatly to our grief. We've had some fun on yon blue seas, From countries we have found, Some bits of news yould like to hear So sit ye still and sound! Log of July 1 Once while battling a pirate ship we took as a captive our former classmate, Eugene Akley, who was then acting as scul- lery cook and chief bottle washer on the boat. He boasts that his former wife, Betty Barber, always appreciated having her pet'l putter- ing around their kitchen concocting tempt- ing dishes such as pickles and sweet rich cream, mixed with baked beans. This receipt he wishes to give to his dear old friends and claims that it is especially agreeable to goats and hens. Log of Septerlzber 2 On entering a curio shop in China, we came across our dear old friend, Perry Howe, whom we remember from those happy school-days as a jolly youngster. He informs us that he is now considered the greatest gem thief in existence. He with his assistant, Floyd Hudson, a notorious leader of a gang of Chicago racketeers, and also several other gang leaders, Glendon Allen, William Stearns, Stuart Thurber, and Elmer Eddy, succeeded in robbing Woolworth's of 2,000 crates of cut-glass diamonds and emer- alds. The four men last mentioned are wanted by people in Putney for stealing milk left for the pigs. Log of October 3 Most surprising to us was our encounter with one of the Rajahs of lndia, Oscar Darling. He treated us with a fine feast served by harem maidens. Although against the custom of India, he allowed his favorite and chief dancer, Bernice Crosby, to dance for us. Also, Ethel Blodgett, Fannie Gissen, Billy Emery, and Marion Bell, who came next as favorites, gave us a charming entertainment and claimed they owed their success to the practice they had in the Community Hall in Brattleboro dur- ing their childhood days in Brattleboro High School. Log of May 24 Quite by chance we saw the noted pair, Mr. Ray Hewitt as violinist, and Miss Thelma Field as accompanist, when they rendered selections at Monte Carlo. They are big head-liners now and they do ex- ceptionally well together. Mr. Hewitt used to play at several road-houses in his earlier days and Miss Field had gained a great deal of experience playing during lunch- hours at the Chatham Gum Factory a few years previous. Log of January 16 During our numerous trips we have run across several missionaries and heard from them both sad and humorous tales. Eliza- beth Franklin and Norma jones, mission- aries, spoke tenderly of the sad plight of the South Africans. They declare that they will never be able to make them use forks and knives, instead of their hands, to eat with. But the Africans must believe in that proverb, hands were made before forks. Jennie Auguston, working among the Australians, informs us of the peculiar customs of the natives, for almost every day she is sent huge baskets of beetles which are considered a great delicacy among them. Due to her quick mind she always has some good excuse for not in- dulging in them. Log of April 21 VVe captured a passenger vessel and were pleasantly surprised to meet Edith Heyer and Betty March again. They were on their way to London, where they were to redee- orate a new insane asylum. A wealthy in- mate had just arrived who requested that the building be made over like a mansion. lt is the young ladies' duty to show the in- mates how to do their bit, and these ladies are just the ones to do this for they have been among the opposite sex so much that it will not be so difficult for them to cope with the peculiarities and eccentricites of the male. Log of Magi 13 Landing at Dover, England, today we attended a festival which traversed the world. Several features attracted our at- tention, especially the main entertainment. Rena Farr gave us an original dance which was met with great applause and then she favored us with three musical selections composed by herself, 'tRaising Corns On Old Broadway, Who Put the Pep In Pepper? and her idea of a chiropractor's selection, 'tSnapping the Old Spinal Chord. Log of July 24 Capturing another ship today we found a few artists aboard. Martha Holland had just joined a grand opera company and has now become an indispensable member. At present she has signed up for the lead in the skit, Modern VVomen. The Pied Piper of Hamelin, the international name for Jeannette Miller, is another of our cap- tives. She plays both the piano and the piccolo at the same time, and it is her as- sistant's, Ruth Yeaw's duty to hold the piccolo up while Miss Miller plays the piano. This is very strenuous Work and we are thankful that Miss Yeaw had good nauscle training pounding the keys in her youthful high-school days. Log of Scfptemluer 7 Today we were told that Elle11 Burklund, when leaving high school, had become a newspaper reporter. Because of her un- tiring effort she has established a daily paper in Green River. Log of April 20 At the port at Boulogne we hunted around in search of more news of our classmates and discovered that an old chum of ours, Elinor Holden, now owns a fashion shop. Her styles are considered extremely smart and her cheerful disposition makes her salon tl1e more popular. Also we found out that Mme. de Pialto and Mrs. Exeter Hunter, or Betty Moynihan and Evelyn VVinchester, two more of our old classmates, were patrons of hers. The two ladies are always exquisitely gowned and are leaders in their social set. Log of Dcrember 3 Everyone's anxiety was aroused today when thc big boy, Lewis Barnes, fell overboard. A solemn tar, Richard Bug- bee, was soon to the rescue and after sev- eral minutes of strenuous labor, Barnes was pulled safely on board, but, being deeply embarrassed, he went to his bunk and was not seen for the rest of the day. Log of June 17 Grace Hector, the Swiss Alpine Climber, has just set out on another adventure. This time she is guiding a group of travelers who wish to experience thrills. Miss Hec- tor, who is now an heiress, Call well afford to spend her time peak-climbing. Her re- corder, Genevieve Howe, also climbs with her, but purely in a business way for she asserts that though some might enjoy the higher atmosphere she prefers dear old terra firma. We wonder if Grace's favorite song is- I Miss My Swiss, My Swiss Miss Misses Meg I Miss the Kiss My Swiss Miss Gives to Me. Log of February 8 We pursued a vessel into Savannah port today to find that there was only a cargo of landing we wan- onions aboard. After dered about and quite by chance we met Rev. Edward Freeman, a jolly old friend, who was very glad to see us. He was very tired and told us the startling news that he had just performed the marriage cere- mony of Bessie O'Connor who was now Lady de Fullaspoof, and who with her husband had just sailed a few hours pre- vious for their castle in Putney, Log of August 2 The class twins, Pearl and Ruby Falby, are still together. They are widely known now for they own an aviation school in Hali- fax. They have a very large enrollment and planes soar over the city day and night. Their chief mechanic is Marion Stone, and another schoolmate, Margaret Spears, is taking thq aviation course of one year so that she may' become a commercial pilot. Lag of February 19 Monthly we receive letters from some of our classmates though we do travel from port to port. Today we received one from Grace Lyman, which stated that sl1e and Lewis Stark with Doris Copeland and her partner, Warren MacDonald, were on the stage doing several round dances. They draw great crowds as they execute the dances in perfect imitation of the olden days. Bernard Remillard, the manager of one of the theatres they danced in, told them to come again when they couldn't stay so long. Log of January 25 After seeking information as to the whereabouts of Beryl Carney we learned today that she broadcasts every NVednesday morning over station WXYZ during the Women's Hour. Her talks are usually on foods and she gives various recipes on how to make and prepare macaroni, sau- sage, and the like. Log of November 10 The President Hoover docked at New York today and it was almost impossible THE DIAL for the passengers to disembark as throngs lined the piers. After questioning numer- ous excited citizens we finally learned the reason for all this undue commotion. Am- bassador J. Francis Long had just arrived from Japan -after an important business conference. As the crowds acclaimed him, we were not able to speak to him person- ally, but had the opportunity to converse with his secret service attendants, Francis MacVeigh and Harry Pellerin, whose prin- cipal duty it was to see to their employer's handkerchiefs and shoes. Lag of June 15 We disembarked today at Alexandria and traveled inland. A few days later we came upon a few men who appeared to be searching for hidden treasure. The leader of them we recognized for all his beard and long hair as Michael Dube or Capt. Mike, as they called him. He had as his surveyor Richard VVilder, upon whose shoulders lay the duty of being able to locate exactly where the treasures were to be found. Lloyd Rix was his recorder who sent monthly records to the United States to be published in the West Brattleboro and Guilford Gazette. Log of July 27 While near Nova Scotia we heard that a fishing cannery, Stafford and Whitney, lnc., was on the coast. The names sounded familiar so we hastened on. Again we met some more of our old classmates, Helen VVhitney and Norma Stafford. VVe learned that they were the owners of the factory and that they had a thriving business. Through Grace Sargent, their correspond- ent to foreign countries, they came in con- tact with Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. On returning to the boat we took back several cans of fish as well as numerous fish stories. Log of April 3 Another dainty morsell Elliott Barber has just been awarded the croix de guerre for having invented a tantalizing perfume. The power of it is so great that at one whiff of it a person will become dazed. This will prove to be of great value to us in future wars as all that will be necessary will be to hurl the perfume filled bombs into the enemies' midst, thus dazing them. At once our men can swoop down upon the helpless men and slay them. Give praises to the clever Barber who has found a new way to skin somebody! Log of Marrli 18 Two others of our former classmates have been accounted for. Clarissa Edwards is now conducting a school for juvenile stars in Hollywood. Jackie Coogan is her favorite, but little Farina runs a close sec- ll ond. Helen VVoodbury has also found her way to The Land of Broken Dreams, and has a position as costume designer. She says that Louise Fazenda, Zazu Pitts, and Lon Chaney are her most amiable clients. She also designs bathing suits for Max Sennett's bathing beauties. Lag of lllarfh 26 A letter was sent to us unsigned stating that two of our classmates were employed by the secret service agency and that they were disguised as sailors on our boat. Within a week we had searched them out and your surprise will be as great as ours was when you hear that Earl Dawley and Lester Lovell were the two. VVe did not make their concealment public to the others and great was our regret after several en- joyable days when they stealthily left the boat one night to attend to their duties on land. The Chief called them lazy lubbers or words to that effect and said, in his- er-best language, that he was glad to be rid of them. Log of May 21 The opening of a new school seemed ,to be arousing the interest of the inhabitants of a little coast town in Georgia. It was the Erickson School for Drum-Majors, and curiosity called again so we visited the dean's office and found the dean to be Mar- garet Erickson, and her private secretary, Velma Ashworth. Her students were from all over the country as well as from abroad. VVe spent a whole day going through most of the classes. Log of A pril 1 We met three other adventurers like our- selves today and we discovered that their names were familiar. 'They were Rose Losossa, Myrtle Codding, and Eleanor Lyons who were on their way to South Africa to hunt tigers and bears. We ex- pressed our consternation at their hunting in the jungles but they reassured us that it was perfectly safe as in their earlier school days they had had daily practice in trying to cope with similar specimens. Log of January S News has been forwarded to us that Mr. Randall Haviland with a great number of followers is attempting to cross the Sahara Desert on a motorcycle. He claims that he can do it in three days and that he is sure of succeeding as he has had a great deal of practice on the sands of Lake Spof- ford and also at Broad Brook. For his assistant he has employed a trustworthy young man, Ernest Eames, who is to run along beside him to oil the wheels and keep the dust from his eyes. 12 Log of fuue 5 Miss lrma Porter has suddenly become quite wealthy working for the Cheat-'em Radio Company. The company, owned by Mr. Hugh Switzer, sells radios by the hun- dreds per day. It is Miss Porter's duty to sing every night over the radio and train her voice so that it will sound like an un- usually large amount of static over the radio. The radio audience will then hurry to buy a new set and Mr. Switzer will be right on hand with his smooth tongue to sell them a new set. Of course, the ladies will then wish to buy. Log of July 10 Another former classmate's fortune was brought to our attention today when we were docked at Marseilles. We were told that Leslie Billings had a showboat on the Rhine which gave very noteworthy per- formances. His songsters consisted of the star, Linnea VVennersten, and a chorus of beautiful girls, full of pep and vim! Log of December 18 Touching the coastline of the U. S. A. we decided to patronize the Peek-Inn tea room owned and operated by Harriet and Beatrice Thomas. Our menu consisted of chopped tomatoes and lettuce seasoned with vinegar for the fruit-cup and then clam soup with puppy biscuits. This was fol- lowed by spaghetti on bread, then for des- sert some delicious cheese on crackers. Needless to say we enjoyed this tasteless repast and wish to recommend the tea room to all those who enjoy something different and unique! Log of October 3 Picking up an S.O.S. today that an ocean liner was sinking we sped to the assistance, getting there in time to save the passengers and crew. Wle really are such bold pirates. After taking them on board ship we learned that four of their stewardesses were our classmates in Brattleboro High School, Eva Benson, Blanche Carpenter, Myrtle Sparks, and Doris Chapman. Ru- mors are that they are seeking ideas abroad preparatory to the management of the Hotel Brooks. Log of May 28 VVhile roaming around New York we got in the way of a car-we would-and were slightly injured by the passing vehicle, so were immediately rushed to a hospital where we were given the best attention possible. The day superintendent came rushing in and she looked like an old ac- THE DIAL quaintance but we couldn't think of her name. She left us alone and while We were in conference decided it was none other than Adelaide Brown. VVhen she came back she told us that she had been very success- ful in her nursing career and consequently had acquired this desirable position. Of course, we had a good long chat with her be- fore we left and it was good to bring back old memories. Log of Illarch 27 There's some discussion between the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs as to who will be able to buy 'ABill Ran- court. New York offers 385,000 while Chi- cago's bid is S90,000, but Bill is thinking seriously of accepting New York's bid as Howard Jones is their third baseman and Bill still retains his good spirit and good- fellows will hang together. Log of August 1 VVe picked up a snatch of news today. Avis Herrick and Clarice Burrington, the class conversationalists, have purchased a farm in Hinesburg and are making a study of flowers. They are making important discoveries daily. Their latest and most famous is a trillium with an odor like that of the rose. Log of January 27 The latest VVho's VVho in America rec- ognizes Edward Brackett and George Kline- felter as pioneers in the New World. They have made Stratton famous. VVe know of a few of the many excursions which they took in what was once a wilderness. Grout Pond has become known as a summer resort for the most wealthy people of the United States and Europe and this is not very far from the thriving business section of this rapidly enlarging city of Stratton. Log of September 2 VVe were awakened early one morning by shouts and boisterous laughs by the tars. Rushing on deck we saw two burly lads engaged in furious battle. We had strenu- ous work to pull them apart. Surprise overtook anger. VVe found Jimmy Stearns and VValter Brockington the guilty com- batants. They were both nursing injured limbs and bruised faces but Doctor How- ard Stockwell, a noted chiropodist special- ist, immediately put them in fine shape. Log of August 24 On disembarking from the boat docked at Honolulu one midsun'smer's evening, we were entertained by several charming danc- ers, among them Helen Thompson, Alice Bushnell, and Carla Henkel stood out note- ably. We noticed at once that their atten- tion was suddenly attracted elsewhere. Finally, we saw the reason, for soon a young man's sun-tanned face wreathed with smiles appeared above the attentive ones of the girls. We saw Clifford Ormsby thread his way through the bevy weighted by the garlands of Howers. At a distance he halted and commanded them to cease their chattering and dance for him. This they commenced to do and he settled back in a chair at utmost ease flattering them with his applause. Log of March 19 Touching the coastline of Oregon we in- quired of the whereabouts of David Dunk- lee. We learned that he with Robert Wade as associate owned a cow ranch in the Montana mountains and the breed was of an unusual specie. Due to his practice of chemistry in his childhood days in B. H. S. he has been able to rid the cattle of a disease familiar in that region. The hides of his horses have a gloss and sheen that many a high school pupil would like his hair to be like. That's what comes of studying chemistry, pupils. Log of April 1 We did quite an unusual thing today by going inland in Search of two wealthy run- away captives, Annis Carpenter and Merrill Mundell. Luck was against us for we lost track of them in the wilds of Dummerston. Finally, we sought the aid of the skillful Osborne Wade, who was fully acquainted with the swamps of this region. After lead- ing us to many secluded nooks that he had frequented before, even though his eyes and ears were sharp and keen, he failed to find the fugitives. He gave as an excuse that he had been practicing so long on his trumpet that day that his ears and eyes have become weakened. And now you've heard of your classmates all . From lands both far and near We'll meet next year at this same time To see our classmates dear. So now we're off to sail new seas For adventurous maids we be, Although we stand before you now Our hearts are ever at sea! Ahoy! -ELEANOR Dlx -MARY O,BRIEN The tennis team did not have as successful a season as did the baseball and track teams, securing only two victories in six games. Bellows Falls and Burr and Burton each won twice, while B. H. S. won over Orange. Since only one man is to be lost through graduation the outlook for next year seems promising. THE DIAL 13 LAIT WILL AND TESTAMENT E, the class of 1930, being mentally ethcient, morally normal, and hav- ing distinguished ourselves in both our athletic and academic endeavors during our four years' sojourn in B. H. S., do hereby be- queath all our wordly possessions and estate, as we deem fitting, to the following: First, Upon Miss Leighton and Miss Emerson we bestow our benediction and best wishes for the future.

Aside from this we leave the following facts and fiction: To that honorable and auspicious body of men and women, politely called the faculty, we provide a playground to be situ- ated on the roof, properly equipped with swings, teeters, and chutes where this in- telligent group may relax after the tedious hours at school. To Mr. Leitsinger We give one package of rubber gum that he may never be with- out a chew. To the class of 1934 we leave our class colors and class Howerg may they be re- spected.

Upon the class of 1932 we bestow the privilege of decorating for the Junior Prom and other social affairs. To the class of 1931 we impart our ability to act as befits dignified seniors. To Dot Evans we give a rubber pencil so she may write admittance slips without tiring. Upon Eleanor Humphrey we bestow the privilege of receiving the same loving af- fection from Hob O'Brien that Rena Farr has received from Bertram Baldwin. To Douglas Tupper we give a book en- titled, How to Get Rid of It, as Douglas is never bothered by an inferiority complex. DI: THE CLA!! UF 1930 To Abbott Robinson we leave, though against our better judgment, Mike Dube's ability to acquire athletic Bs , said Bs to be picked from a can of Campbell's Vegetable Soup. To Pat Ryan we leave the privilege of being a Barber, To Ward N. Boylston we give a book, The Problems of Financing Students at Recess, by John Baker. To Norton Wilson we dedicate the song, Alice, VVhere Art Thou? We admit that M. Chase can surely vamp the boys so we leave her only the privilege of finding a permanent one. To Katherine Franklin we leave the posi- tion of night club hostess in Algiers as this position has been left vacant by the de- parture of her sister, Elizabeth Franklin. To Put Helyar we generously give Elliott Barber's technique in the art of entertain- ing young ladies. To Gretchen Shaw we leave a memory book that all tender memoirs of Haviland may be kept periranently. To Virginia MacArthur we bequeath Grace Hector's Indian greeting, Howe, Howefl To Bill Cox we give one jar of vanishing cream so that he may disappear when set upon by members of the opposite sex. As Red McCarty becomes a senior next year, we give to William H. Haigh a collar and leash that McCarty may not be lost. To Gordon Le Bert we bequeath a maxim silencer, thereby benefiting the whole school. To Palma Goodnough we leave a set of Kill-Joy shock-absorbers so that she won't shake the pictures off the walls when she walks through the corridors. To any girl interested in the future, we bequeath a book, VVhy New Hampshire Men Leave Home, by Miss Rowley. To Bill Bond we proudly give one used whiskey label to be pinned on his chest by Burns Robinson, said deed to be executed at the stroke of 12, New Year's Eve. The residue of our estate, including: A physical director's office badly damaged by fire, one high school building beyond re- pair, and a second-hand hockey rink, we leave to the Debating Club in order that they may settle all debts which they have incurred.

BARBER RICHARD VVILDER 4 The most important social event of the year, the annual Junior Prom, was held last Friday evening, June 13, at Lawton Hall. About sixty couples, including a number of alumni, were present. The hall was attractively decorated along a Spanish theme. On one wall was a large picture of a Spanish galleon: the other walls were beclecked with many Flowers, principally mountain laurel and roses. Several Spanish shields were hung about the hall, and some Spanish shawls hung over the balcony rail- ings were especiallyieffective. A lighted moon and stars at one end added their bit to the decorations. Music was furnished by the Green Mountain Sereuaders, dressed in cos- tume to suit the surroundings. Punch, cookies, and ice cream was served by mem- bers of the Junior class, clad in mantillas. The programs were printed in Spanish and were especially attractive. The ehaperones were Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Crane, Mr. 3.1lC1 Mrs. H. W. Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. James Ferriter, Mr. and Mrs. Wiggin, and Mr. and Mrs. Haigh. The following members of the Junior class served on the refreshment committee: Evelyn Perry, Katherine Jordan, Frances Dunlevy, Edward Fenton: on the decorations commit- tee: Ruth White, Madeline Chase, Alice Grant. 14 GLENDON HOWARD ALLEN- Speedy But quietly he trod these halls.

A pedal keyboard was introduced, and the largest pipes, requiring the most effort in playing, were controlled by the feet. One or two extra manual keyboards were added as well, controlling the softer stops, and the whole could be coupled together in using the full power of the organ. One of the principal difficulties en- countered by the builders was in providing a means for securing sufhcient supply of air or wind, As we have seen, during the early centuries a number of slaves were employed to operate the bellows but the supply of wind was so unsteady as to cause the pipes to sound very much out of tune. A number of interesting arrangements were contrived in later times, among them one in which the blower climbed a ladder and stepped upon a long plank which de- scended with his weight and raised the bellows. Another device required the blow- er to walk from end to end of a long plank pivoted in the center in the manner of a teeter-board, which alternately raised and lowered the bellows. It was not until the nineteenth century that hydraulic, gasoline, or electric motors superseded these and other ingenious yet laboriously operated devices for securing a steady and adequate reserve of wind. Much impetus has been given to organ building during the last few centuries due in no small part to the influence of the great composers and the increasing number of organists. The skill which the latter acquired in performing the works of the composers formed an inducement to the builders to refine and simplify their in- struments aud bring even greater resources within the reach of the performers, both in tone quality and variety, and in mechanical accessories. A most important step in this direction was the invention of the pneu- matic action and the electric action. In the modern pipe organ practically every move- ment is accomplished by pneumatic or elec- trical means rather than by mechanical action, permitting a resulting flexibility and astonishing ease of performance even upon the largest instrument. These refinements in turn inspired the organists to increase their skill still further, and thus the two arts advanced hand in hand. A history of the pipe organ would be incomplete without including mention of the uses to which the instrument has been put, and, more specifically, its long-existent relation to the Christian Church. In its earliest stage the hydraulus seems to have gained much favor with the Roman em- perors, doubtless because it was an in- TI-IE DIAL strument of great noise and power, these characteristics being the primary requisites of any form of music in Rome at that time. They were often heard in the Theatre and in the Odeum, at the Public Games and festivals. Mention of the hydraulus is occasionally found in the works of the his- torians of ancient Rome, and Nero, as well as being a famous fiddler, was a noted performer on the hydraulus. The hydraulus was likewise given a more or less important place in the Pagan ritual, this very fact bringing about much opposition to it during the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries, since it was therefore labeled as an instrument of the devil. But when Paganism had at last almost com- pletely disappeared, music became an im- portant part of the Church ritual, and the hydraulus and pneumatic organ found their places in the new order. It seems probable that the organ was not at first used to ac- company singing since it was too loud, but was heard before and after the service as church bells are heard now. In later times the congregational singing of the Plainsong was accompanied by the organ, and some- times the organ played the Plainsong while the people were silent. Opposition to the use' of the organ in the church did not entirely die out during Mediaeval times, and several violent out- breaks against the use of the instrument are recorded. During the first of the six- teenth century many instruments were de- stroyed on the European continent through the violence of excited mobs. Still more violence was committed in England during the Reformation period, and by official decree nearly all the old cathedral organs were ruined at the hands of Cromwell's followers. It was not till the latter part of the seventeenth century that the pipe organ again took an important place in the serv- ices of the English church. Its use in churches at the present time has greatly enhanced the beauty of the services, and in America it has become so much a part of the service that it is almost inseparable from the church. The pipe organ is also an important con- cert hall instrument and organists of repute perform compositions of all sorts upon it. It has taken an impressive place as a mem- ber of, and not a substitute for, the sym- phony orchestra. It has found its way into the theatre and ballroom, where it receives the admiration of many, and is a regular feature of the radio program. The Estey Minuette, one of the most recent develop- ments, has won recognition for itself in all parts of the country. The great variety of beautiful combinations, and the rich, bal- anced tone of the full organ have indeed found widespread popularity. The past history of the pipe organ has been filled with romantic background, re- plete with the superstitions and beliefs of peoples of past ages. The extent of its own popularity has at many times been limited by superstitious regard, but today it has be- come one of the foremost of musical in- struments. Truly, the pipe organ is the King of Instruments. -JAMES STEARNS CLASS ESSAY CContinued from Page 65 back of his silk suit fastened to the body of the cross, nails between his fingers to help his arms, and a block of wood be- neath his heel. To maintain such a posi- tion for any length of time is, of course, exceedingly exhausting. . The purpose of the Passion Play is not financial but far from it. The money is divided into four distinct parts. The first and the largest share is used to defray the various expenses of the production, the second is devoted to a permanent village- improvement fundg another benefits the church and the poor of the community, the remainder is divided among some seven hundred actors. One year the man playing the Christus received only two hundred dollars for his entire summer's activities. No one but an inhabitant of the village can portray a character in the Passion Play, and only one whose life is practically blameless. The greatest honor imaginable to them is to play the part of Christ, and not to be worthy of playing any part is in- deed a disgrace. To show the attitude of the villagers let me quote Joseph Maier who eiiiciently played the Christ in suc- cessive presentations and who said: It is not only the greatest honor of my life to represent the character of Jesusg it is for me also the most solemn of religious duties. Each performance of the play is pre- ceded by a church service on Saturday, which is attended by all villagers, to offer prayers for the characters on the following day. The presentation itself begins Sunday morning precisely at eight o'clock, heralded by a cannon-shot echoing throughout the neighboring mountains. At this time the orchestra performs a solemn overture, while behind the curtain the cast are as- sembled in a quiet, prayerful group. The music of the Passion Play has been written by a schoolmaster of Ober-Ammergau, and is on all occasions symbolical of the scene with which it is affiliated. A company of twenty-four persons, corresponding to the old Greek Chorus in the Athenian drama and representing guardian spirits, intro- duces the various scenes and tableaux and explains their moral influence to the audi- ence in song. In the Passion Play, there are eighteen acts and twenty-five tableaux before and after each of which there is appropriate music by the chorus. The tableaux typify the acts that follow them. Before the scene of the Last Supper there is a vision of the miraculous fall of manna, a scene showing the despair of Cain, after the murder of his brother, Abel, precedes the act wherein judas takes his own life in remorse. Many other similar, effective comparisons are made throughout the play. One remark- able feature of the tableaux is the perfec- tion of the poses even among the small children that are used in some of themg no muscle seems to move while the cur- tain is parted, even under unusual circum- stances. To the observer, it is marvelous to note the precision of machinery back stage, for otherwise no such multitudes could be employed as are represented on the stage at different parts of the play. The most interesting scenes for dramatic por- trayal of character are :-the temple scene, the farewell at Bethany, the Last Supper, the scourging of the Christ, and the Cruci- fixion. The Last Supper in the Passion Play is almost identical with the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the ar- rangement and positions of the men. This beautiful, impressive presentation of the life of the Christus is the main theme of the lives of the people of Ober-Ammer- gau. Such a production would be objec- tionable and sacrilegious if produced under other circumstances. It is to the credit of these sincere people that they have refused THE DIAL tl1e various offers of money-seeking in- dividuals who have been desirous of plac- ing the play on a financial basis. To its enactors the Passion Play is a sacred obli- gation and a religious privilege, it is a master's painting portrayed by simple peo- pleg it represents an inspirational life, beautifully lived and magnificently repro- ducedg it is a living replica of the Christian drama of the ages. -MAR1'llA HOLLAN11.

Nineteen hundred six was a notable year in another respect also. The Dial was launched on its career by the adventurous Seniors. They may be justly proud of their venture. The Dial is now twenty-four years old and ranks high among other school papers from all over the country. In nineteen hundred seven the Brattle- boro High School Alumni Association was 47 formed with Henry H. Thompson as its hrst president. A large number of the Alumni were present and paraded through the main thoroughfares and then assembled at the High School for a social hour of reminiscence. Thus began the yearly cus- tom of the much heralded and colorful Alumni Parade whose participants have now increased in numbers so that the Com- munity Building is scarcely large enough to accommodate everyone. And faithful Alumni you have, dear B. H. S., for they come thousands of miles to see you again and join your celebration. VVe, too, the class of nineteen hundred thirty, the largest Senior class that B. H. S. has ever known, will be students for only a few more daysg when we return on Wednesday we will be of the Alumni but we will never forget! --LINNEA ANNA VVENNICRSTEN.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute TROY, NEW YORK ...mgm A School of Engineering and Science m...9.m. THE Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was established. at Troy, New York, in 1824, and is the oldest school of engineering and science in the United States. Students have come to it from all of the states and territories of the Union and from thirty-nine foreign countries. At the present time, there are nearly 1600 students enrolled at the school. Four-year courses leading to degrees are offered, in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineering, in Architecture, and in Business Administration, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Graduates of the engineer- ing courses are prepared to take up work in any branch of engineering. Graduates of the course in Architecture are prepared to practice their profession in any of its branches. Graduates of the course in Business Administration are prepared for careers in business or for the study of law. Graduates of the courses in Physics and Chemistry are fitted for research and teaching in these fields, as well as for practice in many branches of applied science. The course in Biology prepares for research and teaching, for work in sanitary engineering and public health, and for the study of medicine and dentistry. Graduates of any of the above courses may continue their work in the Graduate School of the Institute. The Master's Degree is conferred upon the satisfactory completion of one year's work and the Doctor's Degree for three years' work. The method of instruction is unique and very thorough, and in all departments the laboratory equipment is un- usually complete. Interesting illustrated pamphlets giving information regarding the courses of study and the methods of instruction and containing views of the campus, buildings, and laboratories, the student activities, and the Work of graduates, may be had by applying to the Registrar, Room 008, Pittsburgh Building. 48 We now have light and plenty of it, thanks to Edison. Such an evolution in light bulbs! The dull glow of the carbon lamp has changed to a white radiance of the gas filled tungsten lamp. The diamond has long been the hardest of commercial cutting tools, but a new steel has been com- pounded by the General Electric Company which will turn glass and is just as hard when red hot as at ordinary temperatures. We should be most interested in the evolu- tion of paper manufacturing as Brattleboro boasts the honor of the first paper-making machinery made in the United States. Science now creates paper from wood, cornstalks and other fibre, all of which was once made from rags. Celotex, the well- known insulating wallboard, has within a few years appeared as the by-product of sugar cane. For a time we were astounded at the number of products produced from coal tar. Far from tl1e foot of the list stand the feats in surgery and the use of local anesthetics. Science is in fact so omnipotent that we only scratch the sur- face. There are yet astronomy, art educa- tion and music. You may even credit the hole in the doughnut to the achievements of science. Science is the tool of man, of some more tha11 others. Much do we owe to Edison, Marconi, Steinmetz, and Bell for tl1e use- ful appliances which they have produced, more however to the inventor like Eli VVhitncy who never receives his just re- ward for services beneficial to progress. In our quest for facts we should remember that the hypothesis of many scientific facts is only theory. Our attitude, NVe once thought, but now we know, is rather hard to swallow when scientific books of 1850 written in the same tone declare the moon to be inhabited. Even for the rules of nature there are exceptions. Science is growing more and more im- portant, and it is only a question of time before the robot will supplant human hands, and the future will look upon us as we do the ancients as only having begun to in- vestigate the great wonders of science. -DAVID DUNKLEE CLASS HISTORY CCor1tinued from Page 93 be engaged in the fracas that afternoon where the Freshmen received a thorough initiation at Richardson's Pond at the hands of the Sophomores. We placed Elliott Barber, Perry Howe, Betty Barber, Shirley Locke flater Alice Bushnellj, Velma Ashworth, Jeannette Miller, Deane Hawkins, Helen Thompson, and Elizabeth Franklin on a board to see that all the important events at B. H. S. were in the f'Reformer under the heading, The Spotlight. As evidence of further literary ability, on the DIAL board were THE DIAL Martha Holland, James Stearns, Linnea Wennersten, Shirley Locke Clater Carla Henkelj, David Dunklee, and Elinor Holden. In April a new DIAL board was elected and in addition to those already on the board were Elizabeth Franklin, Jeannette Miller, Eleanor Dix, Clarissa Edwards, Elliott Bar- ber, Robert Wade, and Eugene Akley. While we did not head the honor roll as many times as perhaps we were capable of doing, we maintained a steady position on the list of classes. Our talents that year were varied. In November we were glad to hear that Mar- garet Erickson had been appointed the drum- major of our high school band. We were proud to have three Juniors, Betty March, Betty Barber, and Alice Bushnell, on the cast of the annual school play. Many members of the class acted on committees for the school play. VVe certainly had reason to he more than proud of the Debating Team bc- cause of its splendid record. From our class were Linnea Wennersten, Margaret Erick- son, and David Dunklee. VVe had a goodly number of musicians in our class who were in the band, orchestra, and the boys' and the girls' glee clubs. The following were officers of different clubs that year: Of the Business Practice Club, Rena Farr, secretary, and John Shaw, sergeant-at-arms: of the French Club, Martha Holland, president, and Helen Thompson, treasurer. Avis Herrick and James Stearns acted on the Student Council for our class. We commended our football team which in spite of many difiiculties was successful enough to win more than half the games. Mike Dube, a star on the team, was a mem- ber of our Junior class. John Baker was an outstanding member of the basketball team. We had 011 the track team: Manager Oscar Darling, Mike Dube, and Lester Lovell. On the baseball team were Howard Jones, NValter Brockington, and VX'arren Mac- Donald. VVith Alice Bushnell, Adelaide Brown, and Helen Thompson participating in thc Girls' Interclass Track Meet, the Juniors took second place. VVe are sorry to say that we had no representatives on the tennis team, but we were glad to back the team just the same. Exhibitions were of two kinds: That in which we participated and did excellent work as on the night of the gym exhibition, and that in which we sat, first docile, then mod- erately blank, while our parents looked at us with wonderment, awe, surprise, as on the night of the Annual Parents' Visiting Day. Members of the DIAL board and Com- mercial Club enjoyed picnics at Ware's Grove in June. The Junior Prom held at Lawton Hall was a successful and elaborate affair. Clifford Ormsby and Lewis Stark were the marshals for all commencement oc- casions.

H. S. -RUTH Yimw Senior Year In September, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty rc-entered B. H. S. for its last year. After having passed three years in comparative insignificance, the title of Senior seemed to us very suitable indeed. We made genuine efforts to assume the dignity worthy of that name, and even found ourselves murmuring involuntarily as we passed some humble Freshman or boisterous Sophomore, Did I ever look like that? For our perpetual officers, we chose: Chester Shaw, presidentg Grace Hector, vice-presidentg Adelaide Brown, secretaryg Edward Freeman, treasurerg and Alice Bushnell, assistant secretary. Although our class has always held a prominent place on the honor roll, this year it has made an even better record, and we have looked forward with pleasure to the reading of the honor rolls, sure that we would make a creditable showing as a class. No more were we forced to sit uneasily in assembly while a lofty Senior casually announced that his class had paid its dues IOOW, not infrequently adding some rather obvious hints as to lunder classmen's gen- eral lack of school spirit and ready cash. VVe ourselves now hastened to pay our dues quickly so we, too, might enjoy the reac- tion of the under classmen to this announce- ment. And speaking of assemblies, it was very pleasant that the under classmen should rise upon our entrance into assembly. Then, too, we now occupied the reserved seats in the center of the room, instead of the in- ferior side lines, where one either twists himself into an uncomfortable position in order to see the platform, or sits resignedly in his seat, preferring comfort to enter- tainment. The cast of seven Seniors: tha Holland, the school play included Linnea VVennersten, Mar- Elinor Holden, Clifford Ormsby, Perry Howe, Lester Lovell, and of whom captivated the at- Eleanor Dix, all tention of their classmates as well as of the other members of the audience by their portrayal of the weird happenings at The House of the Flashing Lightf, Nor have we lacked for entertainment and excitement during this last year of our high school life.

A large number of us were members of at least one club, and every club has for its president a Seniorg Martha Holland of the Cercle Francais, Edward Freeman of the Business Practice Club, Eugene Akley of the Dramatic Club, and john Baker of the Debating Club, while other members of our class have displayed marked ability as other ofncers or committee members. Then, too, even our lessons have become much more tolerable, for it is a well-known fact that teachers are more lenient with Seniors than with under classmen. To be sure we did not entirely escape such en- cumbrances as weekly themes in English, quizzes on French phonetics, and Ameri- can History notebooksg yet with such peo- ple as Bernard Remillard and James Stearns to relieve the classroom of undue solem- nity, our scholastic careers progressed quite smoothly. And now as we are comparing plans for the future, we realize that we must re- linquish our positions here to the under classmen, and go O11 to the higher attain- ments for which IE. H. S. hits prepared us. -EL1zA1::1'rn FRANKLIN The track team met with good success dur- ing the season, winning the Keene meet and the Invitation meet. B. H. S. also took third place in the state meet at Northfield. The B. H. S. baseball team this spring had one of the best seasons in years. A fine start was made by defeating Leland and Gray 21 to 5. Coach Johnston used every man on the squad during the game. The first and second teams held the Seminary boys to one more from run but Townshend secured four the Brattleboro third-string men later in the game. Brattleboro next met Keene and was sub- dued by the New Hampshirites ll to 4. In a hard, eleven-inning game B. H. S. de- feated Chester IO to 9. The Chester pitcher pitched a remarkable game, holding down the Brattleboro batters until the seventh inning. From then on the game was exceedingly close, two extra innings being necessary. On the following Saturday B. H. S. journeyed to Bellows Falls, defeating the home team by the score of ll to 5.
