BRATTLEBORO HIGH SCHOOL VERMONT VOLUME XXVI JUNE, 1931 NUMBER 5 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS ODAY marks the beginning of the commencement exercises of the 47th class to be grad- uated from this building. It is with a feeling of awe that we consider the marvelous ad- vancements which have been made during the last fifty years in the fields of science and inven- tion. We now have the automobile, the radio, the airplane. VV e have knowledge of vitamins, ultra-violet and infra-red raysg we have new methods of disease prevention-all developed within the past half century. Graduates of former classes, not only from Brattleboro High, but from countless other schools have had a part in creating and perfecting these important factors of modern civilization. XVe, the class of 1931, are about to enter a world of unbounded opportunity. Great deeds are still to be done, inventions to be developed, machines to be perfected, and new discoveries to be made in every field of human activity. Only fifteen years ago it required tive days to carry a letter from New York to San Fran- ciscog today by air mail it requires but twenty-four hours. If such advancement has been made in fifteen years what marvels may we not expect in an equal period in the future? VVe, the citizens of tomorrow, are responsible for the answer. The time is ripe for great accomplish- ments. Vtfe, the members of the class of 1931, are privileged to enter into active living at a time when opportunities and advantages were never greater. It is our fond hope that we also, like graduates of the past, may play a part in the further benenting of mankind. It is then my pleasure, as president of the class of 1931, to welcome you, members of the faculty, parents and friends, to the Class Day Exercises of Brattleboro High School. -J. STEXVART BARNEY CLASSORATION HE lack of formality in our present-day dress, speech, and social relations is the cause for the idea prevalent among many people, especially those of the older genera- tion, that good manners have vanished, and that todayfs young people are actually rude. In the comparison of our age with that of fifty years ago, the most outstanding social change is the decrease of elaborate formality, the absence of which must not be confused with bad manners. Rather, with this dwin- dling of formality, has come an improvement in manners-the place formerly occupied by formality has been taken by consideration. It is an interesting fact that most of us when we encounter a gentleman having plenty of time for courtesy, refer to him as a gentleman of the old school. Contrary to the belief that we are being original in the utterance of this phrase, we absolutely are not, for when people met that kind of man fifty years ago, they then called him a gen- tleman of the old school. Probably this same reference was made one hundred, and even two hundred years ago. Is there really such a great difference be- tween then and now, with the exception of clothes? The informalities of today cannot be denied, but haven't we a distorted rather than a true idea as to the formalities of yesterday? VVhen we think of the long ago, our thoughts are inclined to dwell more on the serious rather than the intimate aspects of the people. Demosthenes in the act of delivering an oration is a more familiar fig- ure to our minds than the Demosthenes seated in his house after supper, roaring with laughter at a fmmy story. Yet, the Greeks and the Romans spent more of their time in natural, intimate relations than they did in any official capacity. People from the pages of history were just as human as we are today. Or, to take the opposite stand, have we been growing more informal since the very beginning to the present time? If so, it is probably due to the increasing preciousness of time. Before the advent of our present time-saving devices, leisure seemed to Hour- ish. People had plenty of time for writing letters, conversation, and prolonged polite-N ness. Since we have seen what we can do with time, the scene has changed and every- one who amounts to anything is busy. No longer do we tolerate superfluous prelimin- aries, but at once get down to brass tacks. Modern Americans are shockingly poor in time g they never seem to have any. Several things may be said to support the proposition that the lack of superficial courtesy is a sign of the growth of civiliza- tion, instead of the reverse. Many people are inclined to entertain the opinion of an elderly pessimist who said: The young people of today have no man- nersg if this goes oii, we shall relapse into barbarismf' However, one of barbarisnfs chief charac- teristics was elaborate and formal courtesy. For proof of this, read what Benjamin Franklin said about the courtesy of the In- dian braves of North America, and what Sam Houston thinks about their manners in comparison with those of white men. The tfiontinued on page 443 U . 6 HIS Adventure of Life is a game. Wfe play it with the hope that, by chalice or good luck we will be the winner. But what- ever our life becomes, it is Adventure that leads us,-guides us onward,-sometimes up and sometimes down. VV here would the United States have been if some adventurous Europeans, in crossing the treacherous waters, had not braved death and the thought of falling off the edge of the world to come over here and discover a great and beautiful continent inhabited only by red savages? Our forefathers struggled on through hardships, and cruelties, to create our coun- try. As Pilgrims and Puritans they de- veloped the East, and then as Pioneers, they traveled across the mighty Mississippi and unfolded the wealth of the land of the setting sun. The result is the United States-the richest, most modern, most envied nation in the world. If someone had told our a rate of 250 miles an hour in an automobile some day, they would have fellow was mad. probably in years doubled. It takes of grit to whiz knowing that such grandparents that would be attained whisperedithat surely the but it has been done, and to come, this speed will be courage, nerve, and plenty along a track at that rate, a small thing as a branch in the road might mean instant death. VVhy, twenty or twenty- five years ago it was considered an adventure to ride in one of the new-fangled horseless buggies. Everyone rushed to the windows when he heard one roaring down the quiet street at the wicked pace of ten miles an hour. Onlookers shook their heads and pre- dicted an awful death for the ones daring to ride in such contraptions. Then some courageous soul thought of the idea of flying, and again people shook their heads sadly and predicted an early death. True, it has meant death for those fearless ones who have risked their lives to perfect this invention, but in time these men will be lauded for the help they gave their country toward facilitating transportation. Now the parachute has been invented to enable pilots to jump from their disabled planes into space, by only pulling a little ring to loose the parachute. Ifhthat isn't adventure,-hurtling through space, at a terrinc rate of speed,-what is? An army pilot tells the story of how he THE DIAL CLASS ESSAY THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE CLASS POEM Beneath Vermont's bright azure skies, Among green crested hills, here lies Our school.

Jliluxir by E-zfelyn Perry FY. saved himself by a parachute jump, when his plane accidentally struck another one in mid- air. The impact of the terrible speed sent parts of both wings of the plane to the ground, and the plane itself went into a violent diving spin. The pilot had to crawl out over its side, and when he unfastened his safety belt he pulled the cord of his parachute, realizing the second after doing it, the danger of the chute catching on the tail of the plane. As all adventurers are want to do, he prayed for a streak of luck, but was disappointed. For a few seconds he swung like a pendulum from the tail of the dropping plane. The ground was beginning to loom up before him and he seemed to be falling into Death's open arms, but as luck would have it, the parachute suddenly tore loose from the plane, and he landed in a soft patch of sagebrush. Another army officer watching said he bounced ten feet, and the only injury he received was a sprained back. The hearts of the onlookers, no doubt, turned to stone when he fell-but as long as Death didn't take him then, he'll probably do it again and again-until sometime- Death will claim him. He is termed a dare- devil-but he loves it-it's his life, and he can't stop. That's the way with Adventure. Its spirit takes one, clutches him, holds him in its grasp,-until, tiring-suddenly lets him down -hard,--bringing him back to reality with only a shattered dream left. Luck is the pass-word of the adventurer. If he's let down hard, it is just his usual bad luck, but if he's still soaring and fortune is his, to have and to hold in his grasp, it is good luck, and joy and happiness are his. One of the greatest types of Adventure is the stock market. Man will risk his all- home, comforts, even his family-in the chance that a stock will go up two points. He becomes like a madman-frenzied, hys- terical,-watching the ticker. Then it goes up-throwing into his outstretched hands a Fortune. Comfort, fame, riches, are his. Life becomes once again a pleasure., Family life is again a joy. He is, perhaps the proud father seeing his beloved son graduate from a wealthy college. Always he is conscious of being looked at, sought for by reporters as the great financier and society man. Then- then, Adventure drops him-hard-and CContinued on pxge 135 I 1 LOQUENCE has been defined as being the art of speaking with fluency and elegance. One imagines that this art had its origin away back in the age of the cave dwellers. Its ascent to its proper place in our civilization of today has been due in part to the need for pacifiers and instigators. The person who is able to express himself in a fluent, clear and straightforward manner has had and always will have a decided advan- tage over a less fortunate individual. He is the possessor of the proverbial golden spoon. It would be a difficult task to estimate the degree of infiuence the orator has had in the history of the world, but I can truthfully say that the triumphs of the sword have been rivalled by those of the tongue. Every period or age gives evidence of the miracle wrought by the meritorious power of eloquence, I might say the Unecromantic power. The great nations of Greece and Rome had as a master-spirit, eloquence. Plutarch tells us that Thucydides, when Archidamus, King of Sparta. asked him which was the best wrestler, Pericles or her,-replied: WV hen I throw him, he says he was never down, an.l persuades the very spectators to believe him.' Demosthenes devoted himself to becoming a good public speaker. At the outset his speaking was very poor because he was af- flicted with stuttering. To cure this defect he is supposed to have gone to the seashore and with pebbles in his mouth practiced speaking. It was Demosthenes' belief that Athens was the rightful leader of Greeceg and that King Philip of Macedon, to whom he was in opposition, was a barbarian and not a Greek. The Macedonian monarch saiil of Demosthenes, that had he been there at the time the orator aroused the Athenian popu- lace against him, that he would have been persuaded to take up arms against himself. For thirty years Cicero studied oratory and searched for models of eloquence. Vlfhen Cicero and Demosthenes were silenced, Despotism triumphed in Rome and Greece. Daniel VVebster has said, VVho can doubt that in our own struggle for independence, the majestic eloquence of Chatham, the pro- found reasoning of Burke, the burning satire and irony of Barre, had influence on our fortunes in America? They tended to di- Tldli DIAL IVY OTRATION THE POWER OF ELOQUENCE minish the confidence of the British ministry in their hopes to subject us. There was not a reading man who did not struggle more boldly for his rights when those exhilarating sounds, uttered in the two houses of Parlia- ment, reached him across the seas. The British lfVrits of Assistance were de- nounced by James Otis in Boston in 1761. So forceful was the denouncement that the audience was aroused to the illegality of these VVrits. It may seem incredible to some of us when we hear of the miraculous effects wrought by impetuous speeches. This probably can be attributed to the fact that we have never heard the weighty words or the ringing, passionate voices of the speakers. The question has often been asked, Is oratory a lost art ? As oratory, in the true sense of the word, is the product of national unrest, the day of the fiery orator has been relegated to history. Everyone knows the type of legislation our Congress is concerned with at the present time. Although there is dissension in nearly all matters brought be- fore our legislative bodies, the situation does not call for a great pacifier or instigator. The party spirit has become very strong and individuality is being suppressed in such matters. Due to the fact that the speaker of a political party is responsible for his party pledges he must, of necessity, speak under a restraint. Consequently, he does not express his own personal views on the subject, but those of the particular party he represents. I do not mean to say that oratory is a lost art, because the volume of demand for ora- tory is practically the same as it was in the past, but it calls for a different type. As the mode of civilization changes so does the human viewpoint. Men and women of today are more interested in the presentation of logical facts than in outbursts which are the product of imagination. The speaker of to- day acts by degrees and with logic, while the ancient orator gave headstrong addresses that were intended to arouse deep elemental passions rather than logical conclusions. Some people are of the opinion that ora- tory's high throne has been usurped by the press. I agree that this has been so in part, but I do not concede the point that oratory is on a lower level than the editorial. It is inevitable that an editorial should not arouse its readers as the words of a truly 7 great speaker arouse an audience. At one time the circulation of the editorial would have been so wide as to reach far beyond the scope of spoken words, but with the inven- tion of the radio and the talkies this has been changed. One of the most important factors in judging a speaker is character. Usually the impression created by a speaker is the result of what he is, though this does not always hold true. To be able to express ideas con- vincingly in words, one must put expressive feeling into them. Therefore, thoughts and feelings of the inner self find expression in the voice and action. The degree of enthusi- asm, sincerity, interest, and sense of propor- tion can be found in the underlying thought of the speech. If a speaker appears to be opprobrious, he has little chance of success. It is an utter impossibility for some peo- ple to put their thoughts into words, but for others it may be natural and may he taken as a matter of course. To speak naturally a person must have self-control and self-con- Fidence. It is absolutely essential that the mind have command over body and voice. To obtain this command one must practice continually and keep ever in mind the funda- mentals. An argus-eyezl individual has a better chance of success in this line than one less observant. An important factor largely determining the heights a speaker can attain, is the way he speaks. His use of the English language must be such that it will enable him to sell his idea to his audience. It has been said. Language is merely a medium for thoughts, emotions, the intelligence of a finely wrought brain, and a good mind will make far more out of a bad medium than a poor mind will make out of the best. Public speaking is being taught in nearly all the high schools in the country, and languages are major subjects. By diligent study it is possible for the student of today to be adept not only in the use of English language, but in foreign languages as welll Obviously it is advantageous for us, as high school graduates, to be able to speak con- fidently before people in all walks of life, for as long as we have human existence the art of public speaking will never become extinct, no matter how many new ideas and discov- eries are brought into our civilization. --BERTHA WHITNEY, '3l. 8 ET us go forth and dress the wounds of the warriors, be they friend or foe. So spake Haldoro, the Dane, to the women wl1o were assembled at her home on the eve of the battle in the year 1000 A.D. The women were eager a11d went forth at once to do what they considered was their duty. Of Haldoro herself, it is said that she found the enemy chieftain badly wounded and nursed him back to l1ealth. This incident is the first recorded manifesta- tion ot compassion and mercy i11 war. This 1IlSt1l1Ct, which looks beyond race, creed, and cause, and sees in a wounded sufferer only a soldier to be made less miserable next found expression in the Knight Hospitalers of-the medieval orders and later in the sisters of St. Vincent de Paul, who, in 1654 a11d 1655 we11t to the battlefield of Sedan and Arrasf' Florence Nightingale, who lived during the 19th century, also firmly believed in help- ing those who were unfortunate. She went to a British hospital during the Crimean XVar and revolutionized the care of the wounded. It was not in the actual saving of life, however, nor i11 tl1e lasting reforms in sanitary service that Florence Nightingale rendered her enduring service. Her two epoch-making contributions were first, the establishment of the modern profession of nursing, and second tl1e value of her example in service to the wounded and sick in war. One who followed in Miss Nigl1tingale's footsteps was a young Franco-Swiss, Henri Duna11t. He was born in Geneva in 1828. At the age of 31 years he witnessed the battle of Solferino at Lombardy, Italy. Forty thou- sand men were killed and wounded on that field. Monsieur Dunant desired very much to help them. He gathered together, from the surrounding towns a few women, and with this little band he did what he could to relieve the suffering of the wounded. It was then that Monsieur Dunant realized the in- adequacy of medical service 011 the battle field and in the hospital. In 1862 he pub- lished a magazine entitled A souvenir of Sblferinof' in which he raised a strenuous objection to war and the loss of human life which it involved. I11 conclusion he asked, VVould it not be possible to found and or- ganize ill all civilized countries permanent so- cieties of volunteers which in time of war would render succor to the wounded without distinction of nationalitv? 11 THE DIAL IVY ESSAY NTHE AMERICAN RED CROSSw + ' 4 ....

Muxir by H ende1l Dix .Wi This question may be called the root of the modern Red Cross System. This pamphlet resulted in immediate ac- tion on the part of the European countries. A conference was held i11 Geneva on Oct. 26, 1863 at which Representatives were present from fourteen European governments and seven philanthropic societies. Resolutions, which recommended the formation of na- tional committees in each country to volun- teer relief in war, were draw11 up and passed. The choice of the insignia-Red Cross-was in deference to the Republic of Switzerland, for the Red Cross Flag is the Swiss Flag with the colors reversed. Another meeting was held at Geneva i11 1804. It was attended by accredited Govern- ment representatives from,-13 European na- tions alld the U. S. The deliberation of this convention resulted in the signing of the famous Articles of Convention now known as the First Treaty of Geneva or the Inter- national Red Cross Treaty. The reason the U. S. did not take active official part in the Diplomatic Convention of 1864 was because the Civil War was occupying all its atten- tion. The primary object of the convention was to give recognition to the principle that the sick and wounded in time of war, the am- bulances alld hospitals i11 which they are placed, and the Medical and auxiliary staff attending them are to be regarded as neutral. The Convention laid down that it is the duty of belligerent to collect and care for the sick or wounded soldiers irrespective of their na- tionality. The Convention also established the Red Cross on a white field as emblem of neutrality. When the Convention adjourned a report was submitted to Secretary of the State Seward. It embodied the aims and text of the Treaty of Geneva. The Government paid 110 heed to it at that time. But the leaders of tl1e Sanitary Co1nmission, a commission which had been organized to better the con- ditions of the people, had seen the inade- quacy of their own organization. They de- voted their powers to infiuence the A1nerica11 GOW'CFl1mCl1t to accede to the Treaty of Geneva. They were the leading spirits in the organization on July 20, 1866 of a so- ciety, The American Association for the Relief of Misery on the Battlefields, to further this end.

H. S. for the non-stop flight to the sophomore class. Much to our gratifica- tion, there were no upperclassmen present, and after visiting our various classes, Mr. VViggin told us how to conduct ourselves the next, and all the following days. Our first assembly was held on September 14, and as we marched in we were greeted by loud and boisterous clapping. VVe felt quite honored as heretofore only the Seniors had had that honor. On September 16, the Freshmen Get-To- gether was held For Freshmen Only, where we became acquainted with the fac- ulty and with one another. Everyone had an excellent time. VVe were the first class which was not hazed at W'ells' fountain. Instead it was decided that there would be a pushball con- test on the Island, and a rope pull at Rich- ardson's pond. VVe won the pushball con- test with a score of 2-1, and to show the Sophomores that we were indifferent to hot air and cold water alike, we permitted them to drag us through the pond. The swim- ming was very good. There were plenty of activities in the airship. Jack Dube, Verne Rice, Abbott Robinson, and Oliver Morrisseau represented us on the football team, and Jack Dube was on the basketball team. VVe were also well represented in the band and orchestra by Oscar Ekberg, John Helyar, Paul Lawton, Abbott Robinson, and Stewart Barney. The Freshman Blowout, which was held on October 15, was a great success. Wie felt ourselves really a part of B. H. S. after this event. ' ' About this time we realized that to make our trip successful we needed a pilot and assistants. NVe elected 'iJoe Holiday pilot, with Madeline Chase as his assistant. Evelyn Adam was secretary, and ,lack Dube mau- aged the financial afifairs very successfully, as we were the first Freshman Class in the history of B. H. S. which had paid its dues 10096. Betty Fairbanks and John Tasker represented us on the Student Council. VVe nearly went into a tail spin at Mid- Years, but we recovered, and with no casual- lies. On March 21 the entire airship enjoyed the Latin assembly given in the form of a Roman circus in which many of us partici- pated. Bill Cox and Put Helyar op- posed each other in a gladitorial combat. 'iBill was proclaimed the winner and was presented with a laurel wreath. Some of the girls participated in the girls' foot race, which is an important event in the circus. The operetta, The Pirate's Daughter, was presented on April 19 and 20, many of us taking part. Scholastically we had a fair record, with an average of about 1896 on the Honor Roll each marking period, Ruth Staples, Doris Rhodes, and Mary Nims were on the Maxi- mum Honor Roll several times. In June we made a very successful land- ing at the Sophomore hangar, the whole trip being almost free from molestation. -KATIIINRINE JORDAN Sophomore Year W'e the class of 1931 returned to B. H. S. in the fall of 1928 numbering one hundred and nineteen, twenty-eight less than the year before: This was our sophomore year and no time was lost in distinguishing ourselves from the Freshies. The first big event of the new year was the annual Sophomore-Freshman rope pull. It was held at Richardson's ice pond and to keep up the class prestige we foundeit neces- sary to give the new members of the High School a muddy bath. The call of the gridiron found many of the boys from our class out for football. Among those were: ,Tack Dube, Verne Rice, Abbott Robinson, Oliver Morrisseau. and Raymond Koski. Jack Dube, and Verne Rice participated in the hrst game of the season. The class was well represented in the musical side of our school life with ten in the baud, the same number in the orchestra, fifteen in the Girls' Glee Club, and eight in the Boys' Glee Club. The two elected to uphold our rights in the Student Council were Frances Dunlevy and Jack Dube. About the same time the following class ofiicers were appointed to guide our ship of state through the coming year, president, Jack Dube: vice-president, Lillian jones: secretary, Madeline Chaseg treasurer, John Taskerg assistant treasurer, Alice Grant. Jack Dube was successful in obtaining a berth on the varsity basketball team, while other boys from our class made the second and third teams. The girls' class basketball team gave a good account of itself during the year with several successful encounters. Edward Fenton appeared in the school play, while Bill Cox was chosen to serve on the advertising connnittee. Mary Nims also served on the business committee. The annual Soph-Senior party was held with the following on the connnittee: Jack Dube, Frances Dunlevy, D. Farnham, K. Jordan, H. Xhiilliam Cox, P. Cram, and Ruth VVhite. Several others helped and every one seemed to enjoy the party. Vtfe hope they did anyway. Not only did we enter and excel in all social and athletic activities but our scholas- tic standing was well upheld. Those being on the General Honor Roll for the year were as follows: Evelyn Adams, K. Cham- berlain, M. Cram, L. Eddy, K. Jordan, H. Lepp, V. MacArthur, E. Perry, V. Prouty, E. Putnam, D. Rhodes, T. Russell, B. Vifhitney and L. VVhitney. Mary Nims was on the Maximum Honor Roll for the year. Although these are not all of the events that took place in our Sophomore year I believe the main ones have been mentioned. Our History does not' end here as it will soon be proved. --RONALD S1nsoN junior Year It was with high spirits that we started on the second half of our high school career. At our first class meeting we elected VVil- liam Ferriter to the chief executive's chair Frances Dunlevy captured the title of vice- president. To Edward Fenton was entrusted the keeping of the Junior class's money, while Viola Hertzberg kept the minutes. The Junior class was well represented in the various activities throughout the year. In the high school play, The House of the Flashing Light, we had four brilliant actors, who did splendid work. They were Ruth VVhite, Evelyn Perry, john Helyar and Verne Rice. It gave them a good foundation for their work in the Senior Year. VV e had a fine debating team this year. It was composed of Madeline Chase, Doris Rhodes, VVilliam Ferriter and Ronald Sib- tContinued on page 451 I0 THE DIAL CLASS PROPI-IECY N the year 2031, the two remaining sur- vivors of the class of 1931 decided to make an anniversary tour of the burial places of their former classmates. In order to learn the histories of their classmates' lives the mourners have succeeded in bor- rowing the spirit of Miss Evelyn Perry from Lucifer. Miss Perry comes from her niche in Hell, primed with information gleaned from her gossiping Plutonian companions. This information she imparts to the Rip Van W'inkles as they go from cemetery to ceme- tery reading epitaphs and exchanging remi- niscences. The scene changes frequently, it being necessary only for the travelers to step upon the magic rug provided by Miss Perry in order to float from place to place with consummate ease and great speed. In the following 1 stands for the first Rip Van VVinkle, 2 for the second and S for the omniscient spirit of Miss Perry. Scene I--P111'nc'y l-fReadingj- J. Stewart knew his milk. He knew His calories, his proteins, too. But somehow the milk he sold to you VV as more H20 than moo-moo-moo. 2-Could that have been our old pal Barney? Spirit-Y es. Stewart realized an early am- bition when he became the owner of a milk plant. Being naturally inclined toward the business he met with great success. One day, however, he fell into the milk machine and was devoured by the angry milk molecules. His son. Stewart, Jr., a good fellow and a reg- ular stave oFf the old barrel, continues the business. Scene II-Egypt l-VVell, well, well! Here's Putt Hel- yar's grave. How'd he happen to get down here? S-Oh, that is a sad, sad, story. It seems that he wandered into King John Nurse's harem one day and was crushed to death in the rush. There has been a lot of discussion as to how he got in there, but I happen to know that he was janitor of the palace and only came in to wash the windows. 2-I knew that curly hair of his would be his downfall. But who lies under this pyramid? S-Lorraine Hoag. She was advised by her doctor to go to a dry climate and so she went to Sheba. She made a great hit there and in a few years was elected Queen of Sheba. And here, Grace Simonds, faithful unto the end, lies be- side her queen. Before her demise she had become very efficient in the art of strewing Flowers and garlands in the path of royalty. Scene III-Lmzdcm 2- L Reading J - This is a sad and tragic song, Old John Shaw has passed along. S-Yes, John did not become a baker, but in- stead he occupied the high position of chef at the Vifaldorf-Castoria. l-fthoughtfullyj Castoria! 2-Say, how did they get Bernice Smith over here? S-Surely, you must have heard about that! She became a celebrated after-dinner speaker. But while speaking at a ban- quet in London she murdered the King's English and one of the loyal Royalists shot her. l-O yes, I heard about that. In fact, I wrote an ode in her honor. VVant to hear it? fReciting with flourishes and gesturesj Miss Bernice Smith, nicknamed 'Bunny' Became obsessed with the notion That her jokes were most terribly funnyg Now my Bunny lies over the ocean. 2-fnot listening, having no appreciation of good poetryb. Here's my idea of an epitaph! CReadsJ Blessed be the modest for they shall not be believed. S-Cwaxing eloquentl Hear ye! Hear ye! They that are too modest listen to the fate of Ronald Sibson. He was the doer of great deeds. He dug a hole to China but denied it, he swam across the ocean, but he said, It was just luck! 2-Too bad! I liked Ron, but you remember that I was always saying Don't he modest, Sibson. 1-Say! listen to this! Our friend Frances Dunlevy Became extremely heavy. She died without corrections And had to be buried in sections. S-As a matter of fact Dunny procured the position of fat lady in the Big Time Circus, and after a time she saved up money enough to retire and became Fat Lady Emeritus.

It just says, S 2 S Christine Loomis tried but failed. -O yes, Christine as President of the Anti-Prohibition League did her best to repeal the lSth Amendment but she couldn't fight the unwilling Americans alone. Her last words were light wines and beers. -How about her brother? -Cleon Phelps and Robert Loomis amused the gentry by standing on their heads and boop-boop-a-dooping as a vaudeville act. VV e had another vaudeville star from our class, Kay Jordan. She became quite famous, her best act being to sing Roll, jordan, Roll. 1-And here's where Red McCarthy fi- nally parked his body. To think our Red would become such a noted philanthro- pist. VVhy, I remember hearing that he used to tip caddies and bell-boys brand new dollar bills. And there's hardly a city in the United States but what has a McCarthy swimming pool, or a Mc- Carthy aquarium. ' S-Yes, and Seraph Chase, whose coffin lies 2? there beside his, was a world-famous trapeze artist. They say that it was a beautiful sight to see her Hitting from bar to bar. But one day she missed and went the way of all good trapeze artists. CReadingj-- VVith an awful yell, and a couple of groans, Thus passed out dear Lillian Jones.

CVVeeps profuselyj Wlhere are our old friends, Hope and Ellen? S-Ah, ha! They were inseparable friends 1... on earth, but the Grim Reaper clove them in twain in the after life. Gee, look at this one! Here lies buried beneath the sod, 'Nort' Vlfilson, by an act of God! Amen. S-Poor old Nort. He was a victim of a suppressed desire. He had been psy- choanalyzed again and again but the ex- act nature of his desire could not be de- termined. Dr. John Tenney said it was a desire to poison his mother-in-law. The eminent Dr. Sprague disagreed and maintained that he was unhappily mar- ried and wanted to elope with the maid. The great phrenologist, Oliver VVood, claimed that the bumps on his head proved conclusively that he desired to be a life-guard, but couldn't swim, and so it went on. Nort was torn between the diPferent factions, and eventually died of chronic uncertainty. Scent' V-New York City -How did Robert Thomas get ratted? -Yea, verily, that question was well put, because Bob pulled a Pied Piper and chased the rats from New York City. He then went on where he could get some business and landed in Greenfield. However, the rats were too much for him there, and they got him. -VVhat has happened to our great play- boy, Floyd Lindsey? -Floyd became what we thought he would, a wrestler, and was undefeated champ. The only way they could down him was to sneak up behind him with two three- ton tractors, a11d then they left him fiat.

She Hnally dropped dead after winning the 100-yd. dash for the United States in the 1980 Olympic Games. This is Beulah Carle- ton's grave, and all these queer posies are her creations. This little purple flower with the orange leaves is a choke- me-may-the combination of an arti- choke, a mayfiower, and a forget-me-not. Beulah was a second Luther Burbank. That reminds me, what became of Dick Jones? -He's buried in honor in VVestminster Abbey, in London. He was the great Sir Richard Jones, the inventor. He forsook his native land for England, be- cause we didn't pay proper tribute to his vacuum cleaner for dandruff. It met with great success over there and put our Listershine manufacturers out of business. Perhaps his greatest inven- tion, however, was his apparatus for cleaning the dirt out of the cracks in the Hoor. The new Brattleboro High School fyou know they're at last suc- ceeding in getting a new buildingj has a life-size statue of him in the right corner. 1 It says on this tombstone, Here is the coffin of the man who occupied the high- est position on earth.

Marion Dix won the Grand Sweepstake Prize for the best painting of the Century, but there's a story be- hind that. It seems that one day she left her paints lying around and her cat got into them. He then went to sleep on a sheet of canvas. This canvas was by mistake substituted for the real pic- ture, but it won the prize. The Judges complimented Marion on her delicacy of touch, fine reproduction of subject matter, and exquisite coloring. 2-I'm tired of hearing about women. How about a few of the stronger sex.

HARRIS CLASS ESSAY tContinued from page 63 newspaper headlines may read, l'Financier a Suicide-Stock Market Blamedf' VVhat has Adventure given to him? It has taken all-and given-nothing. XVhatever Adventure means to the world, or whatever it does to the world, it develops characteristics which no one can spurn. Chivalry, fairness, courage, braveness, and grit are created, and from them come honor, truth, and faith. As we leave high school to go out into the world, with no one to prompt or to help us in our decisions we should remember these traits. This great Adventure of Life is just start- ing for us, and we are reaching our arms out eagerly and hungrily trying to get all its pleasures and joys in one breath. The world is ours for the asking, to do what we will with it-it's ours. lvhat shall we do? Lean back and let the other fellow do it, or run ahead of the crowd and reach the goal first? Vifhich will you do? The Spirit of Adventure doesn't intend that we shall step back and let the other fel- low do it. Luck or chance doesn't mean a thing. It is only hard work that eventually wins, and places us at the top of the ladder. Let us not be satisfied, and sit down half- way up the hill of Life. Let's push on straight to the end, with a great and glowing Finish, hand in hand with Adventure! -EVELYN ADAM.

Seated in solemn conclave, they passed the meditative pipe around slowly, and when one spoke, no one in the company ever thought of interrupting him. Compare a modern meeting of bank directors with a committee of Indian braves. Leaving the savage, consider the so-called civilized person. VVe are all familiar with the rules of the age of chivalry. The knights must profess to adore beautiful ladies and be willing to even risk their lives to satisfy their every whim. Although the knights treated ladies with the most formal respect, as if they belonged to a superior race, this elab- orate courtesy was merely a thin enamel, hardly covering a cynical contempt. Gala- had's uniqueness made him conspicuous, but in our present age there are many Galahads who never think of claiming any credit for it, nor are they given any. The old time courtesy has been replaced by comradeship. The old-fashioned duel is an example to prove that extremes in courtesy have no rela- tion to heart warmth. Nothing could ex- ceed the formality with which a duel was ar- ranged from the time one man challenged another until the combat was ended. XVith the disappearance in most places of this method of settling quarrels, its extreme courtesy has been transferred to the duels between nations-such formalities without a blemish, beginning at the time an ambassador of one country leaves because war is to be conducted between the two countries. I have said that formality has no realation to heart warmth. The antithesis of this statement naturally is that the absence of formality is the surest sign of intimacy. Intimate friends do not need to engage in conversation to enjoy themselves. It is re- lated that Tennyson and Carlyle sat together one evening and never opened their mouths except to expel Hoods of tobacco smoke. At the end of the evening they agreed it was the pleasantest time they had ever spent to- gether. The increasing of patience and good nature in crowds, with rare exceptions, shows the growth of real courtesy in taking the place of old-time formality. One of these rare ex- ceptions is the subway rush hour. If a visitor from a strange planet were to form his opinion of ladies and gentlemen from a view of the New York subway at rush hour, he would never believe that we possessed the slightest inkling of politeness. Most crowds of people-on their way to a football game, at the theatre, or merely the crowds in densely populated thoroughfares are, on the whole, good-natured and patient. Increased consideration for others isn't the only result ofthe growth in genuine courtesy and present-day manners. Increased sincer- ity has also resulted. The relations between boys and girls, men and women, parents and children, teachers and pupils, may seem to THE DIAL some to lack good manners, but this great improvement points to increased sincerity. In the past, no consideration was given to the person himself to whom a service was renderedg it was taken for granted that Age, Authority, and Females were entitled to a certain amount of service. But today, con- sideration is given to the mind and character of a person to whom homage is given to see if he deserves it, and if he does, it is most gratifyingly given. Perhaps the greatest change in manners has taken place in business-everything per- taining to commercial life. No period was ever marked by such attention being given to courtesy. In every department of com- mercial affairs, courtesy is regarded as a very essential part of the equipment of a successful man. Business has awakened to the realization of the intrinsic value of this new asset. No successes are made in the business world of today without it. True courtesy springs from within, but can be cultivated, until the results evidenced by the courteous person cause it to become a habit. It originates in sincere consideration for the rights and happiness of others. If you meet a person for the first time and he, without apparent effort, shows you true con- sideration, you never forget it-you want to meet him again. Good manners nourish the desire of some emotion in us which governs our actions with our fellow-men and women, for after all, what is courtesy but loving one's neigh- bor as oneself? -IXIARY Nuns. IVY ESSAY CContinued from page Sl ment was doomed because it was not backed by the government. In 1871 it was dis- banded. The American Red Cross owes its organ- ization and much of its success to Clara Barton. In 1869 Miss Barton went abroad. She had, during the Civil XVar, worked to relieve the suffering of the wounded soldiers. She devoted much of her time athher own expense. VVhile she was abroad, she was intensely interested in the effective operation of the Red Cross system during the Franco- Prussian war. Miss Barton became ac- quainted with Monsieur Moynier, who re- quested her to try to induce the American Government to sign the Treaty of Geneva which was the background of the Red Cross. In 1881, Miss Barton interested President Garfield and James Blaine, Secretary of State. In July of that year, the American Association of the Red Cross was formed, and Clara Barton was chosen president. Be- fore the society was officially organized, President Garfield was assassinated. The Red Cross advocates were able to win the new administration and on March 1, 1882, L c President Arthur signed the Treaty of Geneva. The Senate, some days later con- firmed it, and the U. S. at last took its place among the 31 nations then signatory. The American National Association lasted for 18 years. It had no official connection with the government. The president of the society and an Executive Board of eleven members had all the power. Aid from this society was rendered to the victims of the Michigan forest fires, the Mississippi and Ohio River Floods, the Galveston tide wave and a few other instances. Their first opportunity to serve in time of war was in 1898. The Spanish author- ities in Cuba, to quell civil uprising, had im- prisoned the natives of the seaport towns without adequate shelter or food. A relief commission was formed by President Mc- Kinley. There were members of the Ameri- can Rcd Cross sent to Cuba and distributed food to the imprisoned inhabitants and the American soldiers. In the meantime, a group of Red Cross workers had started a new branch, known as the American Red Cross Relief Commit- tee. About a hundred similar committees were formed. One of these auxiliaries re- cruited five hundred well trained nurses, as- signed them to U. S. Army camps, furnished them with necessities for the soldiers and paid the majority of their salaries and main- tenance. This work was the most extensive and valuable rendered in the name of the Red Cross during the war. The greatest part of the volunteer relief work was done by in- dependent units and lacked national direc- tion. ' The Red Cross Association was reincor- porated by an act of Congress in June, 1900. Under the rules of this charter a report had to be made by Congress but no official audit of the society's accounts was required. This charter proved unsatisfactory and after an investigation the organization was reorgan- ized again. The old Association of the Red Cross was dissolved in 1904 and a new cor- poration was created by Congress in 1905. It was ofiicially approved by President Roosevelt on January 5, 1905. The new charter required that a yearly audit of Red Cross Accounts should be made by the VV ar Department and provided for Federal super- vision of the society through official repre- sentation on the Red Cross governing body. The last important step in the organization of the American Red Cross was taken by President Taft on August 22, 1911, when he proclaimed that the American Red Cross was the only society authorized by the gov- ernment to render aid in time of war to its land and naval force. Thus the American Red Cross as enmn- erated by the by-laws of the organization are briefiy: C11 To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war. C21 To perform all the duties devolved upon a national society by each nation which has acceded to the treaty. QSJ To perform all the duties which were hitherto performed by the American Red Cross which was incorporated in 1900 and is hereby dissolved. Q41 To continue and carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in migrating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures for pre- venting the same. The League of American Red Cross so- cieties was founded in 1919 and now includes in its membership fifty-six Red Cross so- cieties. Ever since the organization of the first Red Cross society, it has risen to meet every need in time of disaster. It has always con- sidered the needs in a disaster and by the voluntary contribution of every race and class of people, it has met every emergency that has arisen. President Hoover, in calling upon the peo- ple to join the Red Cross in the campaign of November, 1929, has said: Its prompt efiiciency in time of disaster, and its continuing service in numerous less spectacular but no less important tasks of relief make it an indispensable part of our national life. -DORIS Ruomss. CLASS HISTORY tContinued from page 93 son. They competed against many other schools and did exceptionally good work. VVe had three Juniors on the football team this year. They were Jack Dube, Verne Rice and Paul Brazer. Although foot- ball was not such a success this year, the three boys did all they could to make it so. Basketball was more of a success, and we had Jack Dube, Paul Brazer and Joe Holi- day representing us. A new idea was brought forward this year by the Juniors. To raise money for the an- nual Junior Promenade we put on an enter- tainment in the form ofwa Bazaar. There were various booths selling candy, ice-cream and punch. The hall was decorated in fancy colors. Dancing was the main feature, and a good time was enjoyed by all. The Junior Promenade this year was ar- ranged on a Spanish plan. The girls serv- ing punch were costumed in old gowns and shawls of Spanish origin. The Green Moun- tain Serenaders were doing their best that night. Many alunmi attended, and enjoyed the dancing. The success of the event was largely do to Frances Dunlevy, Edward Fenton, Bill Ferriter, Katharine Jordan, Evelvn Perry, Madeline Chase, Dot Platt- THE DIAI. ner, Bill Cox, Margaret Cram and Pat VVhite. Three of our student classmates won the Silver B this year. They were Evelyn Perry, Mary Nims, and VVilliam Ferriter. After completing this eventful year we were fully prepared for the coming year when we would be started on our course as Seniors. -PAUL LAw'roN, X31 Senior Year In September of the year 1930 we, with the honorable rank of Senior, entered Brat- tleboro High School on the last lap of our climb to graduation. The first cliff we came to was the Freshman Blowout but we were all helped over with the aid of Bill Ferriter, Ruth Xvhite and Ed Fenton as executive connuitee, and Katharine Jordon, Frances Dunlevy and Jolm Helyar as re- freshment committee. Our next obstacle was to elect officers who would aid us the best in our climb. It was finally settled that Stewart Barney should be president, Doris Rhodes, vice- president, Frances Dunlevy, secretary, John Helyar treasurer, and Gretchen Shaw as- sitant treasurer. Our class-was well represented on the football field, Captain Dube, Ernest Kall, Paul Brazer, Stewart Barney, Douglas Tupper, Wfalter Douglas and Manager VV il- son being lettermen. Our basketball men were few but worthy. The lettermen were Captain Jack Dube, Paul Brazer, Douglas Tupper and Manager Peterson. Speaking of excitement will we ever forget the chemistry explosion and the hubbub that followed or the reports of the poor drowned classes under the chemistry room? The party which the Sophomores gave us was one of the finest school dances given for a long time. The gym was turned into a prison, which isn't hard to imagine. The program, a hilarious take-off on members of the senior class, was a riot. The cast of the school play, The Goose Hangs High, was composed almost entirely of Seniors, Margaret Cram, Madeline Chase, Ruth White, John Helyar, Stewart Barney. Paul Lawton, Edward Fenton, Gerald Allen, and William Ferriter. Although this was a different type of a play than the High School had been accustomed to giving, it was thoroughly appreciated by both audi- ences. The tennis team which played for the school had five Seniors, Nvilliam Ferriter, Stewart Barney, Ronald Sibson, Edward Fenton and Douglas Tupper on it. All of the school club officers were Seniors, -president of Dramatic Club, Stewart Barney: president of Cercle Francais, Doro- thy Aiken: of Debating Club, Evelyn 4-5 Perry: of Business Practice Club, Robert Thomas. Captain Prouty, Cleon Phelps, John Tasker, Richard Jones, Raymond Koski and Manager Boyd were lettermen on the base- ball team. Seven members of the Senior class entered the Oratorical Contest. Madeline Chase won the first prize of thirty-five dollars and Edward Fenton took thc second, of fifteen. Katharine Jordan, Margaret Cram, Made- line Chase, Ruth VVhite, Mary Nims, Doris Rhodes, Ronald Sibson, Stewart Barney, Vtfilliam Ferriter, Edward Fenton, Gerald Allen, and John Helyar were senior mem- bers of THE DIAL Board. From this group Evelyn Perry and Edward Fenton were chosen editor-in-chief and managing editor, respectively. Our early exams gave us a rest period before we really reached the heights of alumni. VVe were very sorry to lose two popular members of the class, Alice Grant and Vtfalter Douglas, who were forced to leave because of illness. Alice was a faithful worker on committees and we had looked forward to her help during our last year. VV alter Douglas was missed as one of our most outstanding athletes. -RUTH M. VVHITE.
