Deep and hallowed traditions of the school have grown up with the years, traditions which this class will strive to carry on as have the classes in the past. This day will stand forth as one of the most glorious of our lives. Each one of us will en- deavor to perpetuate the honor of the school and to make of himself a justified credit to our Alma Mater. For the last forty-seven years the graduating classes of Brattleboro High School have gone forth to discover the real meaning of a world that has been made better by them and because of them. This year we have something greater to cope with, something worthy of our mettle. Let us not be dismayed by the economic upheaval around us. Rather let us conquer it and override it to the heights of Prosperity. From this day on, our course is, in a sense, our own. VVe have received the loving care of our parents, the words of wisdom of our teachers, and the benedictious of our friends. Now we are confronted in reality by the W'orld! The VVorld will make us-The VVorld might break us, but it can never be said that our future is the product of any but our own hands. This is a most fitting time to express our appreciation for the help of our parents and teachers in starting us on our careers-whatsoever they may be. It is then, my pleasure, in behalf of the class of 1932, ,to welcome you, alunmi, members of the faculty, parents and friends, to the Class Day Exercises of Brattleboro High School. --PAUL W Arenorr. CLASS ORATION ERE are some conservative estimates of the quality of the citizenry of this country as revealed by the Army intelli- gence tests given during the Wlorld VVar. Fifty million persons are living in America who have not sufficient brains to get through our certified high schools. The members of this graduating class, there- fore, have reason to feel some pride and relief in the fact that they are not included in this huge lump of stupidity. Eighty-five million lack sufficient intelli- gence to go beyond high school. That means roughly that only one-half of this glorious class of '32 have mental stamina enough even to squeeze through college. And finally, only the very top four or five million of our one hundred twenty million people are bright enough to graduate from college with any degree of brilliancy. Furthermore, do you know that there are about twenty million people in the United States who can never learn to read a book of any importance in an understand- ing way, that ten million can probably never learn to write an intelligent letter homeg that there are forty million who can probably never go, by present educa- tional methods, much beyond the eighth grade! How can democracy be anything but a. name when there are not much over fifteen million Americans who have any real ability to think independently upon social and political problems? In short, one-fourth of the great American population is pretty bright, and about three-fourths are pretty dull. On the average, the bright people have bright children, the dull people have dull children. Of course, there are significant exceptions, but it is the average that counts. If this graduating class were divided into two groups according to intelligence, I am certain that, in general, you would find that the brighter pupils come from the brighter parents. In the same way, you would find that the healthier pupils come from the healthier families, the taller pupils from the taller parents, and the fair damsels from mothers who were once just as fair. For the moment, it makes no difference whether this result is caused more by heredity or by environment. All we need to know is that, to a large extent, the better children come from the better families. Of course, great men often rise out of the slums from the parents who, on the sur- face at least, do not seem at all brilliant, but we must not let these exceptions blind us to the fact that for every one of these self-made men the slums produce hun- dreds and hundreds of others who are just slummers. There is no law to prevent a President of the United States from having fContiuued on page 421 Q 6 THEDIAI. CLASS ESSAY INFLUENCE OF THE MOTION PICTURE INCE the time of Marlowe, Shake- speare and Jonson, men have tried to reproduce, on the stage, the joys and tribula- tions of human life. The characters that these great artists of the drama have created still live today, and their stories are well known. But of late years, because of that wonderful, far-seeing mind of Edison, actors of great ability have made both the old and the new characters of literature move, speak, and live for the public on the screen! The movie has become one of the greatest sources of entertainment in this country. The industry has spread to all parts of the world, and now every civilized nation has theatres and motion pictures. France now has some six thousand projec- tors in different institutions, and these are used for the most part for instruction. But France is not the only country that has realized the importance of the motion pic- ture for education. From data gained by the Federal Otitise of Education in the United States, it is shown that more than sixty per cent of the elementary and high schools in this country use motion picture films for pur- poses of instruction. In such courses as those of natural science, social science, physical education, and home economics the films are a great help to both the teacher and the pupil. The possibilities for instruction by the motion picture are many. In the grade schools, such subjects as History, Geog- raphy, Reading, and Hygiene could be made much more interesting to the pupil. Al- though books are greatly improved today with their illustrations and attractive bind- ings, a child would much rather see some- thing take place before him, than to read a dry account of it in a book or newspaper. And he remembers it better and for a longer time! History from the year of Columbus' great voyage to the present time could be pre- sented on the screen and so made alive and realistic. How vividly one would re- member the small, storm-tossed ship of the Pilgrims as it landed on the rocky New England shore! All the important events in American history could be pictured-the struggle of the early colonists against starvation and the Indians: the great war caused by taxation without representa- A A A CLASS POEM A new day dawns!

V V V tion g tl1e terrible crisis of '6lg and the Vlforld lNar, with its havoc and ruin. Such pictures as All Quiet on the VVestern Front and Journey's End, show the hell and awfulness of war, and make young people resolve that there will never be an- other such conHict. The Covered NNagon and The Gold Rush picture the emigra- tion of the pioneers to the West, and make us realize the general hardships and diffi- culties which these men had to endure. The VVestern picture, which is shown in many theatres, gives a new, true portrayal of the old VVest, with its dashing cowboys, its bandits and its fights for law and order in a new land. Cimarron, a motion picture based on Edna Ferber's book, brings to the screen a story of the settlement of Oklahoma. In this picture, the conditions of living in a small frontier town are shown. The more religious settlers wisl1 to start a church, and they have to fight against the rougher class to get it. A newspaper is started by a man who believes that all the news should be published. He has to fight to continue his work, for his life is threatened by the enemies he has made in this way. Old friends are divided by the conliict for law and order. Men who have lived adven- turous lives, doing as they please, resent the new law, and have to be forced to aCCCDf if. So the movie can show the everyday life and strife of a pioneer, as no history book could ever describe the human relations of these argonauts of the Xvest. The story of the lives of such men as George Vliashington, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt can be brought to the pupil, not as a thick book of biography with its uninteresting close-written pages, but as motion pictures such as Abraham Lincoln, played by VValter Huston, and Alexander Hamilton, played by George Arliss. These movies give very vivid portrayals of characters and scenery. Abraham Lincoln is one of the greatest history films ever made. llValter Huston is a wonderful Lincoln, and he makes this well-loved American more human and more understanding than does any history book tContinued on page 135 LBERT COATES, an English con- ductor and composer, stated recently in a newspaper interview: Had I been an American, I'cloubt if I'd had a chance, in this country at least. The American public rebels against such a statement which di- rectly suggests that our nation does not ap- preciate or understand music which is thought worthwhile in European countries. NNe consider ourselves well advanced in the field of musical art. The growth of musical culture is mani- fest in three ways: the understanding and discriminating appreciation of audiencesg development of interpretative musicians, production of characteristic national com- positions. Our many opera houses'which are filled with people who are anxious to hear beautiful music is proof in itself that Americans do appreciate excellent composi- tions of noted artists. john Philip Sousa, Ameriea's March King, is a splendid ex- ample of an interpretative musician who has produced some compositions symbolic of our country. John Philip Sousa, successor to Gilmore, who was the conductor of the first Ameri- can concert band, was born in 1854 in Vifashington, District of Columbia, the son of a Portugese father and a Bavarian mother. This young man was destined to lead a very remarkable career. At the age of ten, he took violin lessons with John Esputa, a local teacher. Later Sousa studied theory and composition with a Mr. Benk- lert. After he had become skillful at play- ing several band instruments, his father had him enlist in the Marine Band. At this played in civilian orchestras. being discharged from the time he also Sousa, after Marine Band in 1872, became at the age of eighteen, the WVashington's director of the orchestra at Theatre Comique. Later he lead an orchestra in a comedy company and also for' Morgans' Living Pictures. In 1876, Sousa went to Philadelphia where he played under Otienbaeh, and- at several theatres. In 1880, he was appointed director of the Marine Band, and in the twelve years following, he served under tive presidents: Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, and Harrison. Sousa constructed a new band out of what had previously been mere routine organization. He built THE DIAL IVY ORATION JOHN PHILIP SOUSA up its library, changed its instrumentation and raised its morale. Sousa formed his own band in 1892, which gave its first concert in Plainfield, New Jersey. The first season was not suc- cessful financially, owing to the manager's poor judgment in selecting towns that the 'band was to visit. After the first season, the band was a success because of the fact that the enthusiastic Sousa insisted that they keep on. They made annual tours through the United States and Canada, four to Europe and one around the world. The citizens of Brattleboro have been honored twice in recent years by a visit of the Sousa band, and have shown their ap- preciation, by the assembly of large audi- ences at these concerts. Sousa's band has been engaged for almost all important ex- positions in the past years, starting with the Chicago W'orld's Fair in 1892. Sousa was a man of distinctive per- sonality and character, thoughtful and gen- erous. His musicians were always unfail- ingly loyal to him. Every man gave his best at all times uneomplainingly and with spirit and vigor. Sousa displayed great pride and affection for them, which they returned with the same enthusiasm. Sousa has carried the concert band to heights never achieved before. He has de- vised an instrumentation that allows effects as soft and fragile as those of a symphony orchestra. Sousa strove in every way to improve the quality and variety of the in- struments. He suggested to a manufac- turer that he have an upright bell of so large a size that the sound would diffuse over the entire band. The manufacturer designed a horn after that description, which has been used ever since by many bands under the name of Sousaphone. Marches have earned for Sousa the title of March King, for he has been to the march what Johan Strauss was to the waltz. Stars and Stripes Forever, The Vtfashington Post, The High School Cadets, and The Gladiator are only a few of thc many that bear the indelible Sousa trade-mark. Sousa wrote ten comic operas the most successful of which were: The Bride Elect, El Capitan, and The Free Lance. He also composed many other musical 7 varieties, lyrics and a few librettos for some of his operas. As well as being a musician, Sousa was an author. He wrote three novels and Marching Along, one of the most readable memoirs in American literature. In 1917, when America entered the NNorld XfVar, Sousa became a lieutenant in the Naval Reserve. His last important public appearance was at the NVashington Bicentennial Celebration for the Nation last February 22. He directed the massed Army, Navy and Marine Corps bands, when they played America, while thousands of people sang that hymn in a chorus which was broadcast throughout the world. They also played the George Wlashington Bicen- tennial March written by Sousa for the oc- casion. Sousa died when he was in his seventy- eighth year, March 6, 1932, at Reading, Pennsylvania, following a heart attack. He was buried at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington. This great composer was often asked reasons for some of his conducting methods. He considered it the business of a conductor to publish in its dramatic form the central idea of a composition, and that he could not convey that idea successfully if he didn't enter heart and soul into the life of the music and the tale it unfolded. The movements he made could not possibly be repressed, for at the time he was ac- tually the idea he was interpreting. Sousa pictured his players and audience in one accord with him. There were clever musicians in the Sousa band, but if their interpretation of a phrase did not agree with his, they subordinated their idea. His men realized that the en- tire elfect was better if they submitted to one dominating spirit-their leader. Sousa, however, believed that he should watch for outbursts of genius among his players. If he considered that one of his men inter- preted a passage in a manner superior to his, he was glad to lead it in that way. VVith Sousa, thought came sometimes slowly, sometimes with ease and rapidity. Ideas gathered force in his brain, and took form not only melodically but harmonieally. The theme was'always complete before he tContinued on page 433 8 T There be many shapes of mystery: And many things God brings to be, Past hope or fear, And the end men looked for cometh not And a path is there where no man thought So hath it fallen here. -EURIPEDES. HERE does your hobby path lie? Is it in your mind, in the laboratory, or out of doors? A hobby is a system of connected ideas with a high emotional tone, and such emotionally toned ideas are tech- nically called complexes. Psychologically speaking, the action exerted on conscious- ness by a complex is analogous to the con- ception of force in physics. A hobby is that thing in which one takes an extrava- gant interest. In this interest is found a vent for self-expression. The machine age with its brother, speed, necessitates a recreation as relief from mo- notony and hurry. Physicians today pre- scribe an avocation with its accompanying diversions for the so-called tired business man. Only a few years ago an evil-tast- ing tonic was ordered, but now experiments have proved the value of relaxing the mind and body in a complete change of occupa- tion. Vtfilliam Gladstone, the British states- man, was a famous collector of Leeds pot- tery. He once said that the joy of being able to pass from the turmoil of politics and the anxieties of Parliament to quiet contemplation of cream-colored ware was a source of great solace and rest to him. Hobbies are classified in three types: ac- quiring knowledge, acquiring things, and creating things. The choice of kind re- mains to you since a hobby is to be one of your favorite topics of thought and action. As in all phases of life, the amount of pleasure and real benefit derived from this hobby is in proportion to the amount of time and energy directed toward it. The most generally popular seems to be the second group of interests, acquiring things. It pertains to accumulating things tangible and things intangible. Collecting is cer- tainly not a new habit acquired in recent years, but dates back to the time when pre- historic man collected stones and shells for no apparent reason other than diver- sion. Collectors have a wide range from which to choose: autographs, stamps, IVY l-IE T Hail to thee, Cov'ring thes brightg Tiring not, 011 DIAL ESSAY is YOUR HOBBY?

VVV prints, china, furniture, etc. In all these hobbies there is a definite amount of study and attention to details in order to receive the greatest satisfaction. Here is an illus- tration. There has been incessant demand from collectors of authors' signatures for those of Thackeray and Dickens. Dickens, especially, varied his signatures a great deal from year to year. In each year be- tween l830-1837 he added a loop under his name, so that by 1837 there were seven loops under his name. Each year from that time to his death the position of the loops changed. A collector must be very alert to detect the authenticity of these sig- natures. In contrast to this, book collec- tors have the advantage of discovering odd bits of information and sometimes profit- ing by them. A collector once read that Alexander the Great was embalmed with honey. During the war, glycerine, one of the principal constituents in the process of embalming, was needed for the manufac- ture of explosives. The collector con- ceived the idea of producing artificial honey from sugar for use in embalmingg thus a large supply of glycerine was released for war purposes. Now let us consider in more detail a hobby from the first type of interests, ac- quiring knowledge. Do you ever think about the words you utilize every day in conversation, in transacting business, or in study? NNords are tools without which other tools are utterly useless. Wie would have no need for books, paper, pencils, telephones, or radio, if we had no wordsg in fact, we could not have these, there would be no foundation for them. XX-'ords make civilization. Our lives are guided by wordsg we are their victims. 'With words we create worlds, heavens, nature, in spite of the fact that we are told that we can neither create nor destroy matter. VVhere did we get our words? This, the study of etymology and philology, is a fascinating hobby for some people. The Greeks and Romans were excited by word lore. Ro- mance and Germanic etymology began seri- ously in the nineteenth century with the work in comparative philology by Jakob Grimm. He was the originator of the fa- mous Grimm's Law pertaining to the reg- ular interchange of consonants between CCoutinued on page 431 'l'il'lE DIAL 9 CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year HE fifth day of September, in the year nineteen hundred twenty-eight, was the memorable time when one hundred forty- fonr freshmen of rather a verdant color walked importantly up the high school steps. The squirrels in the near-by trees, satisfied with only the best of quality in their foods, did not molest them. Heroic efforts on the part of the teachers to ini- tiate them into their new life was a par- tial success. Needless to say, at first we were the butt of many unkind remarks and actions. It has been estimated that if all the steps taken by wandering Freshmen who have been sent by kind upperclassmen to the wrong rooms were placed end to end, they would reach to Nova Scotia. However, very soon we thwarted the attempts of the vain rulers of our destiny and were able to reach our classes in time to receive the assignments for the next day. Kimball Barber and john Latchis soon became so dexterous in chasing each other that they did not even upset the trattic otlicers or break up the student traffic. Our first assembly was an entire success, although it has been stated that we did not seem exceptionally moved by it. NWC were well received by the amused body of up- perclassmen although our cheeks plainly showed our discomforture. If all the color exhibited on our shy, blushing faces could be preserved, there would be enough rouge to color the cheeks of Allethaire Smith and Eveline Murray for the rest of the year. About this time it was decided that a strong leadership was needed to guide our class. Accordingly, the following were elected: President, Leonard Ryang Vice- President, Bianca Newellg Secretary, Bar- bara Leach: Treasurer, Burns Robinson. Neil Briggs and Eleanor Tarbox were sent to the Student Council to add the necessary dignity to that body. Thus we were ready to push on. The subject of the animal rope pull we will pass over lightly. Because of our natural kindness we allowed the Sopho- mores to pull us through the pond. VVe permitted this also because we could not bear to separate them from their new- born dignity. Now to more pleasant topics. In football our class was ably repre- sented by Hob O'Bryan and Pat Ryan, two mighty men. Their manager, Tiny Mastalcr, protected them from the opposite sex exceedingly poorly and seemed to en- joy it. These men represented us also in basketball. Other members of our class, however, received training that was to benefit them later. The cheering sections were decidedly improved as far as volume was concerned as some of our commuting friends from the country had powerfully- trained voices said to be used in calling cattle from pastures two or three miles dis- tant. Music classes and orchestra were quickly filled by eager members of the class of '32, Our first social event was the Freshman Blowout. Those who attended will testify to the appropriateness of the name. The members of our class who were more ad- vanced socially showed their appreciation of the party. Some of our hosts and hostesses seemed greatly amused by watch- ing the dancing, although we conldn't un- derstand why this should be. Of course, as was expected, some of us were not too expert in dancing, and so a few pairs of shoes were sadly in need of refinishing by the end of the evening. However, we were entertained royally and enjoyed it im- mensely. It was here that our recognition as members of Brattleboro High School started. Midyears were passed successfully both in time and in marks. Then the sailing was easier. Scholastieally, we did fairly well for the year. NNe had a good percentage of our class on the honor roll. Bernice Boying- ton and Charles Crane were the victims of brainstorm and wrote their names on the maximum honor roll for the whole year. As our school year rolled to a close we had much about which to think. Vile had learned that: two and two were four, that three's a crowd, the ditiference between principle and principal, that P. M.'s were not a product of the lunch counters, and that most seniors were not members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But seriously, we were given a new train of thought. Wie were taught new and dif- ferent subjccts. Vile had come upon a new era. One of the final stages in preparing to be good citizens of life and of our country had ended. VVe were able to look back with satisfaction on the first part of our new training and to look forward eagerly to the next. -VX 1NsroN S1nsoN. Sophomore Year Wie, the class of 1932, entered B. H. S. with a much happier spirit because we were sophomores. This is especially true of Tiny Mastaler, who, much to the astonishment of his fellow students, pro- claimed loudly the fact that he had grown a quarter of an inch during the summer vacation. Verne Putnam, on the other hand, tried to console us by stating that he had stopped growing, and that the doors need be raised only half an inch. Our class elections were as follows: President, Verne Xvatsong Vice-President, Bernice Boyington: Secretary, Bianca New- ell: Treasurer, Pat Ryan, Assistant Treas- urer, Celia Morse. VVe greatly appre- ciated the service of these classmates, as they helped us over many rough spots. XVe need not recall the shameful inci- dent at Richardson's Ice Pond, when all those big husky Freshies pulled their weaker upperclassmen, including Ben Blodgett, Robert Du Buque and John Latchis, through the muddy water. Our star football players, Pat Ryan and Hob O'Bryan, certainly worked hard trying to ward off the beautiful dam- sels who insisted on congratulating them on their victories. Honorable mention should also be given to Neil Briggs, James McKechnie, Fletcher Blodgett, Donald Fairbanks, VVilliam Bond, Farrand Mc- Durfee, and James Fitzgerald. VVe were represented on the Student Council by Bianca Newell and Charles Crane, whose work and willingness to help at all times were greatly appreciated by the members of our class. Elizabeth Fairbanks and Eleanor Tarbox represented us at the Girls' Conference at Vlfindsor, January 31 and February 1. It is said they brought home many helpful hints about how to do general housework, how to care for animals, and how to keep sex appeal. This information proved of great value to the Junior VVoman's Club.

In the same way, we do not expect the son of idiots to turn out to be a Presi- dent. It ought to be obvious that we should strive to increase the number of children from the better families, and, if possible, to stamp out the degenerate children from the degenerate families. VVe can give birth control information to the ignorant and exhort them to cease producing inferior citizens. We can urge tubercular persons not to marry. And above all, we can teach eugenics to the better classes and show them it is their duty to develop a superior stock. I should think that the family that produces a genius, or two or three geniuses would receive nearly as much glory as the genius himself. Large families must be made fashionable again among the better classes. Poets should continue to marry poets, and movie stars to marry movie stars, until we build up groups possessing ability and genius in these arts. just what is happening to the human race? Perhaps the better classes are al- ready producing more children than are the inferior classes. Indeed, we find that many of the men and women in VVho's Who have large families, this is a very good tendency. But considering the classes of the population on a broader scale, we find that in 1920 the school-teachers of America who had any children at all had given birth to two and two-tenths children per family, the bootblacks had given birth to nearly four. Now, as Albert Vtliggam says, the bootblacks may be as worthy in the sight of God as school-teachers, but it is not their wont to lift nations to new levels of thought and culture, or to open new hori- zons to the ken of men. School-teachers, on the other hand ,... aid immensely in building civilizations where bootblacks may have boots to shine. And worst yet, nearly all bootblacks marry and have children while scarcely half of our school-teachers ever marry at all. Extending the comparisons to other clas- ses, we find that in 1920 the lawyers and judges of America who had families had two and two-tenths living children, while janitors and sextons had three and four- tenths, authors, editors and reporters had two and one-tenth, workers in stone quar- ries and gravel pits three and six-tenths, skilled workmen had two and six-tenths, boiler-washers and engine hostlers, three and one-tenth, doctors had two and one- tenth, skating rink and dance-hall keepers had two and six-tenths, mine ohicials had two and nine-tenths, mine laborers three and six-tenths. Chemists made the poorest THE DIAL showing of all with but one and eight-tenths, and the garbage men and scavengers one of the best-at least one of the highest-with practically three living children. Do I have to explain what these figures mean for the future of America? It isu't prejudice to say that as society is built to- day, chemists are more intelligent than ditch-diggers, and the children of chemists more intelligent than the children of ditch- diggers. I doubt if very many of the latter are capable of becoming chemists. But where are we going to get chemists and doctors and skilled workmen if they fail to produce their quota of children? How can our people help getting less and less intelligent when the least desirable, the least competent, the least intelligent quarter of our population produces nearly one-half of the coming generation of children? You may shrug your shoulders and say that we have always had enough leaders and great men to carry us along-but have we? lNhat happened to Greece and Rome, and Spain and Egypt when they ran out of their great men? NVhat will happen to America when the Pilgrim stock is completely dis- sipated-and the Virginian stock-and that of the NVestern Pioneers? Vermont has always prided herself on being a little state that produces big men -but how long will she continue to do so? Consider the Adams family that gave us two presidents and many other prominent statesmen down to the present day in un- diminished brilliance. Do you know that all the following Americans are lineal de- scendants of two fine colonial citizens:- Timothy Edwards, one of the founders of Yale University, Jonathan Edwards, Aaron Burr, VVinston Churchill, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Robert T. Paine, author of Commonsense , Melville VV. Bigelow, one of the greatest legal writers of our times, Morrison R. NVaite, former Chief Justice of the United States, Grover Cleveland, and Ulysses S. Grant? Contrast with this the waste and degen- eracy produced by the famous Jukes family:-three hundred children died in infancy, three hundred ten became pro- fessional paupers, four hundred forty were wrecked by disease, fifty turned out to be prostitutes, seven were murderers, and fifty-three others became criminals. Not one member of this family was ever a col- lege graduate. It is a degenerate blood like that of the jukes family that is costing some states one-third to one-fourth of their total budget. They fill our institutions, our in- sane asylums, our prisons and our poor- houses-and when the insane have been cured, or the prisoners have served their sentences, we allow them to marry and pro- duce more and more of their same sort. Two feeble-minded persons have never been known in all history to have any- thing but feeble-minded children-and yet Vermont is among the twenty or so back- ward states that still allow their feeble- mindcd to marry. In the days of natural selection an idiot didn't have much chance, the insane person was branded as a witch or demon and cut off from all society, a petty thief was hung, the weaklings died. There were no doctors to save sickly little infants nor tuberculous persons. There were no asylums in which to take care of the unfit. Nobody furnished the poor with clothes and food and charity. We do not want to go back to those days, but we must realize that charity applied as it is today without any corrective only defeats itself-it saves the weaklings, the deaf-mutes, the epileptics, the morons, who are all allowed to multiply and increase,- allowed to have families often double the size of.those of some of our best citizens. Unless charity and eugenics can work to- gether, the human race is faced with an in- creasing burden of unfit people. There are two ways of being healthy: one is to be just naturally tough and able to withstand any sort of disease, the other method is to stay healthy by doctoring and taking all sorts of precautions. Ob- viously, the first sort, which is achieved by good heredity, is many times more con- venient, and more permanent than the second, which is achieved by the help of careful environment and costly medicine. Here is a story which Vifiggam tells that illustrates the point:- One family had nine children reared in defiance of about ninety-five per cent of the laws of hygiene. They did nearly every- thing that is supposed to cause early death. They went swimming before the ice was gone: they slept in piles like pigs, the windows were nailed down in the fall and kept air-tight until warm weather. One of the boys was such a weakling that he had to wear underclothes! And yet this family grew up as sturdy and fine a lot of young- sters as could be found in the country. Most of them went to college. All are probably still living and filling careers of dignity and credit. On the other hand, VViggam tells of an- other family he knew who began doctoring from the time they were born. They lived out of doors and led a beautiful care-free life. However, in spite of having the ad- vantage of everything known to science, three of them died in early childhood. One girl died at seventeen, three at twenty-five, and one at thirty-two. And yet, queerly enough, two of these children lived to be over sixty in fine health. There is only one thing that will explain the contrast in health between these two families, and also the difference in lon- gevity within the second family,-and that is heredity. The grandparents of the first family were all four of similar type, built to run a hundred years or so. The whole family trcc was good, sound, healthy stock through and through. The stock of thc second family contained both strong and weak branches. And, as seems to be the general result when strong strains marry into weak strains, the children turned out of both sorts, some long-lived and some short-lived. One could go on forever talking about heredity. It is the most fundamental factor of life. It produces the artists, poets, scientists, Napoleons, and all the leaders who are most responsible for the way in which civilization turns out. And therefore, eugenics, which is a method of producing bigger and better men, is, it seems to me, the most necessary reform, because if you can raise the health, the intelligence, and the energy of our great mass of people, and at the same time supply them with greater leaders and more of them, surely the rest of the things we are seeking will follow. Certainly, democracy, socialism, or any other form of government by and of the people can never do much more than muddle along as long as there are only fifteen million voters who can really think independently, and as long as fifty million people cannot do what we, the class of 1932, are doing today. -CHARLES CRANE, II. CLASS ESSAY fContinued from page 131 in many schools motion pictures of travel and exploration in various countries have been shown, and these have stimulated the interest in geography. Likewise, the English course could be made more interesting. In most high schools this course is divided between grammar and literature. Although the i'movie could not teach a pupil his grammatical rules, it could help to kindle his interest in the great wonders of literature. The stories that one needs in his first year of high school are Treasure Island , The Gold Bug , The Spy g Tom Saw- yer , and others of the same type. Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer was recently made into a picture, and thecritics agreed that it was a real success. Huckleberry Finn soon followed, and although the plot was slightly changed, the real spirit of Mark Twain was in it.. One must read a story to appreciate the figurative speech and quali- ties of style, but the plot is more clear and the characterization more vivid, if one sees the story enacted before him. The plays of Shakespeare must be seen on the stage or screen if one wishes to really understand and appreciate them. Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, THE DIAL Hamlet, and Macbeth truly show thc genius and greatness of this dramatist when played as they were meant to be played. just as these plays are made clean and real for us, so could the great epics of literature be made familiar to us. Many great stories have already been made into movies. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Svengali or Trilby, Ben-Hur, Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Murders in the Rue Morgue are all examples of stories suc- cessfully made into movies. So the great characters of literature can be made to live for us just as do the characters of history. The sound picture has an increasing use in other fields besides the school and the theatre. The dealers and salesmen of many automobile manufacturers are now being educated for their work by the sound pic- ture. The American Social Hygiene Associ- ation has produced motion pictures con- cerning social hygiene questions. The United States Department of Agriculture publishes motion pictures, dealing with the agriculture of other lands. Recently a picture called Agricultural Exploration in Ceylon, Sumatra, and Java was made ready for the public of this de- partment. Explorers of various countries often take moving pictures of the scenes they see, and then show them in the schools of the country. Some time ago, in Green Street School, an explorer named Mr. Nel- son gave a movie and lecture, From Crater-Land to Jungle. Both the grade and the high school pupils saw it. In just a few moments we saw the natives of Guatemala and the Honduras in their queer costumesg we saw the strange houses in which they live, and we became familiar with some of their customs. Vi-'e saw the rivers, the forests, and the mountains and all the strange animals that inhabit them. We looked at the places of interest in the large cities, we saw the banana plantations, with their growing fruit. If all that we saw was put down on paper and described so that we could see it with our mind's eye, it would fill a book, and then be only half as interesting and fascinating. The beauti- f11l scenery, the strange animals and birds, and the cute little black babies will always be vivid in our minds. So the usefulness of the motion picture is increasing. Although it is used in so many industries, I think that its educational value is the greatest. The motion picture will some day be the leading means of in- struction in the schools of our country. -BERNICE Bovlucrox. The track team has had its usual success- ful season this year.

He didn't manufac- ture his themes deliberately. For him it was not a nonchalant morning's work. He believed that any composer who is glori- ously aware that he is a composer must consider his inspirations from a source higher than himself. Sousa once said that his advice to a promising young American composer would be: Be yourself and never an imitator. Do not be obscure, and do not be a materialistf' In a composer lies all the possibilities of the creation of beauty. Sousa believed that a march stimulates every center of vitality, wake-ns imagina- tion and spurs patriotic impulses, which may have been dormant for years. After one has considered the compositions of this great man, he will repress any nega- tive criticism regarding our native music, Sousa did not write his marches to ac- company the tread of hobnailed boots cross- ing a bloody field, or for strife and deso- lation. He wrote them to be played at functions celebrating a triumph of culture over science, to accompany the light free spirit of step of young children. The Sousa speaks to us through his marches, and he would wish it so. -BIANCA Nsweu.. IVY ESSAY fContinued from page SJ CID Indo-European languages including Latin and Greek, C25 Low German lan- guages. C35 High German languages. The hobbyist who finds magic in words can spend entertaining hours with a dic- tionary. Pronunciation, derivations and meanings all lure him on. Derivation and meaning together possibly offer the greatest attraction. Take the word hobby. This comes from the Middle English word, hobyn, meaning nag. Hence our ex- pression to ride a hobby. Another en- tirely difierent word is succint, derived from the Latin succingere, tu git-d, Having departed from the original mean- ing-compressed into a narrow space-it now has come to the point where we apply it to a remark or answer meaning con- cise, terse A recent questionnaire sent to a selected group of famous persons asked what word in English seemed to them to have the most beautiful sound. Several replies were that words using I, such as lullaby, lovely, laughter, were the most musical. H. L. Mencken agreed with the opinion that the expression cellar door was most beauti- ful. Another query asked what was the most useful word in the English language. In answer, there were a number of vehement assertions that no was the most used word. Let us turn to a hobby in direct contrast 4-4- to the one just discussed. Flower gardens gratify a desire for physical outdoor exer- cise and a wish to createg they feed the hunger for beauty. Bacon, in an essay on gardens, said of planting, It is indeed the Purest of Humane pleasures. It is the Greatest Refreshment to the Spirits of Man. The first fragrance of spring in- fects the gardener-hobbyist with a restless- ness aIId a longing to dig in the damp earth. He is held iII an agony of suspense after the first seeds are planted until the ground over them begins to crack. To watch growing things brings joy and a sense of awe. There are countless ways to express ideas of beauty in the gardening hobby. TlIe exquisite colors make a garden a spot of beauty whatever way it is plotted. Beds of brilliant tulips bring to mind pictures of the famed gardens of Holland. The deli- cate tints and paper thinness of the iris blossom cannot be surpassed by any flower. Some workers enjoy gardens laid out in symmetrical lines with path and borders in prominent view. Thomas Edison, an en- thusiastic gardener, called one of his gar- dens a Sunday school because the iiowers were iII such straight lines. He and his wife were ardent gardeners in two fields. He had a garden of what most of us would term weeds-milkweed and goldenrod. How- ever, this garden was the basis for a great deal of experimentation for the rubber in- dustry. Just before Mr. Edison died it was announced to him that a successful attempt to vulcanize rubber obtained from one of these plants had been made. Mrs. Edi- son's formal gardens, resplendent in richly colored Howers, were havens of beauty and peace for the most exacting horticulturists. You may say gardening is not a year- round hobby. Glass gardens have come into vogue for winter use. A garden even as small as one made in a fish globe atones for the lack of outdoor plots. These glass houses offer excellent opportunities to ob- serve wild flower habits. Violets and hepaticas thrive luxuriantly iII these winter gardens. If the gardener maintains VVords- worth's philosophy that the best part of nature is the quiet refiection of it after the scene has passed, there will be no dull hours. The reaction after the confusion and speed of present day activities is a desire to be alone aIId to concentrate your mental or physical faculties on a definite objective. A hobby is primarily an interest to be de- veloped by yourselfg thus it satisfies this urge for the systematic. Since there is need for a real purpose in the use of the ever-increasing amount of leisure time, hobbies will be the keynote of future rec- reation. -ELIZABETH FAIRBANKS.

CLASS HISTORY CContinued from page 9D they have made, they could soon buy out the famous VVoolworth stores. The Home Ee classes of Miss Ken- worthy progressed very rapidly. They were an exceptionally bright group. The rides on the sewing machines held their interest, not to mention that of tlIe cook- ing class, when they had to do the annual spring cleaning. Among the tragedies that occurred in the cooking class, when they had to Blake pies, were those occasioned by Lorene Pierce, who put a cup of water into an apple pie, aIId Frances Prouty, who absent Inindedly used Sloans' Liniment in- stead of vanilla as a flavoring for a cake. Virginia Carley thought it was great fun to sweep the floor, thus skipping the job of doing tlIe dishes. Among the social activities, the Soph- omore Senior Party, which is given to the Seniors by the Sophomores, proved a great success. The en-tertainment was given by us, and Palma Goodnough finally consented to contribute her glorious voice aIId sing a few selections from operas. James Fitz- gerald and Frank Milkey woII a lot of praise, as they impersonated the famous Amos n' Andy team. The Freshman Blowout started off with a bang! The Freshman had no end of courage as they asked the dignified senior girls to dance, only to repay them by walk- ing all over their feet. This party helped tlIe Freshies to get acquainted, and to feel more at lIonIe with the upperclass- men. For the semester ending january 24, 1930, we had three members on the maximum honor roll and nineteen on the general honor roll, a total of twenty-two, which was quite an improvement over the num- ber in previous marking periods. Becoming more sophisticated aIId more intellectual, we entered our Junior year, glad that our wise-sophomore days were past, and looking forward with a keener interest to days to come. -MARY FILION. Junior Year OIIe hundred one Juniors turned off tlIeir alarm clocks on the morning of September third, 1930, and wondered why the powers that be start school in the middle of the night. This did little good, so we hurried eagerly to begin tlIe last half of our high school sentence. We had a much more optimistic start than we ever had before. VVe were spec- tators instead of participants at the rope pull, and had the pleasure of seeing an- other class fllall our own pulled through Richardson's Pond. Andy,' Mastaler, Bud Bissette, Hob O'Bryan and Don Fairbanks carried the Blodgett touched it football and Ben twice. The basketball team won most of its games, due in part, to the playing of Pat Ryan, Hob O'Bryan, Don Fair- banks, and Robert Du Buque. Most class officers regard their positions as an easy way to get Silver B units. But our unusual success as a class has been due, in part, to the people who have acted in tlIe following capacities: President, Charles Craneg Vice-President, Bianca Newellg Treasurer, Kimball Barber: Secretary, Bernice Boyington. Bernice and Kimball also represented us on the Student Council. We were entertained early in the year by witnessing two very fine plays, Op o' My Tl1umb, and In the Zone, in which a number of Iuniors took part and per- formed well. Evidence of literary ability was given by the appointment of the following to the Spotlight Board: Betty Fairbanks, Bernice Boyington, Eleanor Tarbox, Meryl Mather, Katherine Franklin, Barbara Leach, Eleanor Hubbard, Kimball Barber, and Charles Colt. THE DIAL Board for this year included such illustrious and talented members of our class as Charles Crane, Bianca Newell, Bernice Boyington, Betty Fairbanks, Mar- garet Johnson, Donald Rix, Kimball Bar- ber, and Charles Colt. In the school play, The Goose Hangs High, we had four budding actors and actresses: Bianca Newell, Eleanor Tarbox, Palma Goodnough, and James Fitzgerald. On the baseball diamond Robert Du Buque, Hob O'Bryan, Lawrence Clark and Don Fairbanks brought honor to the Class of '32. At the same time State Championships were being won on the track by Neil Briggs, Bud Bissette, James Fitzgerald and Donald Rix. Betty Fairbanks, Charles Crane, and Neil Briggs were on the debating team, which reminds one of his own debating class, the exceedingly collapsible chairs, and the ensuing one hundred seventy pound crashes. The Junior Prom was a grand success, due largely to the efforts of Wfinston Sib- son, Bianca Newell, Charles Crane, Burns Robinson, Edith Kall, Betty Fairbanks, and Pahna Goodnough. Lawton Hall was dec- orated in Japanese fashion and everybody received Japanese favors. Buster Keating's orchestra furnished the music for the occa- sion. A year of hard work and achievement was made worth while, when, at the last assembly, the coveted Silver B's were awarded to Charles Crane, Betty Fair- banks and Bianca Newell. -CHARLES COLT. Senior Year The elements seemed to be at peace on the day we here entered as condescending and benevolent seniors. The customary thunder shower failed to appear: but then, why shouldn't it ?-rec were seniors? VVe have been extremely patient with the childish underclassmen whose conduct now clearly reveals our earnest work and ex- ample. lNe have been careful not to lose our patience, even when a tiny, fat, fresh- man, emerging abruptly from a coat room, has bumped' into us forcibly. Wie have simply delivered him safely to the care of a tratiic cop, who has carefully explained that he mustn't go through these handy short-cuts. Some mornings, upon reaching the third floor, one would have thought that the en- tire supply of eggs i11 the Home Economics room had decidedly spoiled. Investigation has proved that it was only a concoction prepared by john Latchis, bearing the ob- noxious smell of rotten eggs. No wonder it has taken us an unusual length of time to do our experiments-we have so often paused to admire and to marvel at the deli- cate and fantastic arrangement of John's apparatus and, breathlessly to watch the results, as he has loudly shouted directions to his enthusiastic helpers. Speaking of john, reminds us of Latin class. VVhat a pity that there were only five in the class to appreciate John's ludi- crous comments upon the adventures of the hapless Aeneas. The senior preps have looked forward THE DIAL to Friday in American History class. This is the day on which tl1ey have had Govern- ment. It was surprising to see the prompt and perfect recitations given that day. It must be that Government was more inter- esting than history. Perhaps the fact that one of the members of the class acted as teacher had something to do with it. Most of our clubs and organizations have been headed by seniors. Dignified Vifinston Sibson has been president of the S. A. S. It's too bad that there haven't been more S. A. S. meetings so that we could give him a chance to preside. Charles Crane, with hesitant and uncer- tain French, has led our French club and has maintained its peaceful dignity, yet we have noticed also that he could enter into the boisterous games that we played at meetings, such as the Murderer, with great zest. A literary club was formed this year Cprobably because there were so many bud- ding writers among the seniorsl. The president was an underclassmang but the treasurer was a senior. This was wise, be- cause it was better to entrust such a bounti- ful sum, as this treasury contained, to an older person. Scholastically, our class has been very successful. Bernice Boyington has been a constant member of the Super Honor Rollg others, whose names it would per- haps be best to withhold, have equally honored us by continually appearing on the failure. list. Yet, seriously, about one- third of our class was represented on the honor rolls, which is really a very credit- able showing. Recess has always been a time of va- rious scenes for the seniors. VVe would not be surprised to learn that Helen Vtfilbur had grown thin. During every recess, the members of that little group of which she is one, have unsparingly partaken of the cookies she has purchased for her eleven o'clock lunch, leaving very few for her. A group of boys, just outside the main-room door, have tried constantly to confiscate each others' lunches, in hope that they would not have to spend their own hard- earned pennies for this purpose. Another group has congregated in the Latin room to discuss matters of great concern. No little amount of loud laughter and horse- play has preceded their reentrauce into the main-room after recess. ' The cast of the school play included eight seniors. Bill Bond and Burns Rob- inson acted their roles most' skillfullyg and I don't doubt that their characterizations in the play will not be far from their true appearance when they are old men. VX-'e must not forget to mention our class president. How often we have seen Paul Vtfateroff mount the platform to give an announcement. No one less eloquent than Patrick Henry could have so persuasively 45 plead for the school to uphold the various undertakings of the class to raise money for our depleted treasury. Now, however, we need no longer spend our efforts upon raising money, for we have no further use for it here. In just a very brief space of time, we will no longer be an active part of B. H. S. Later, as we see the students filing half-heartedly into school, we will wish that we might take their places and again experience the carefree days of high school. No longer can we anxiously await the sounding of the bell which ends the period, and then push along to our next class. The classmates whom we have learned to admire as friends will be separated from us, and we must make new associates. Now we must face the world as men and women. As we plod upward in our career, and endure the at- tending frustrations, we can look back at the short but pleasant span of years we have spent here. They will stand out as a lone star shining amid the deepening sky of the future. -KATIXERINE FRANKLIN. l BASEBALL SUMMARY The baseball team has gone through an unusually good season this year, winning nine out of eleven games and remaining un- beaten until the ninth game. .It has scored a total of one hundred eighteen points against opponents who have scored forty- two times. The Chester team was swamped first, 26 to 0, by a B. H. S. nine who hit everything. Springfield was overcome next, 14 to 6, in a game at Springfield. Brattleboro barely defeated Black River Academy by the close score of 2 to 1. Next Bellows Falls was beaten in a game there, 10 to 1. Brattleboro decisively defeated Leland and Gray, 15 to 5. Leland and Gray was again overcome in a closer game, 4 to 3. Chester again lost to B. H. S., this time by a score of 16 to 1. Brattleboro defeated Keene 9 to 7 in a good game at Keene. The Bellows Falls team avenged its de- feat and spoiled the B. H. S. record by de- feating our team 13 to 6 in a game here. Keene also got even by scoring seven runs in the eighth inning after Brattleboro had led from the start. In the last game schedule the B. H. S. nine came back and scored a 7 to 5 win over Springfield in an exciting game. VVith McBride, Herbert, Carpenter, Tracy, and Shaw back and several promis- ing substitutes a good team is expected next year. 46 TH E ID I A L PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS DENTISTS ALLAN D.
