SCENE V Sophomore Hop-April 9, 1937. The biggest dance of the year-the Sophomore formal! It reached the peak even over the other dances put on by various classes before us. There wasnit any one who did not look forward to this dance. The orchestra was the famed Jimmie McGibbon and His Revelersf' They were new to us, but reached all expectations, and are said to be the best band that has been heard here. Even the decorations were unique. An underwater scene was portrayed, and as one stepped into the gym he felt as if he had been transported to the bottom of the sea. Strange fish were seen to be swimming about, fish we had never seen before, but which were explained to us to be the ideas of students of our class. Seasickness was averted by the sweet music which poured forth from the band. Four young men of our illustrious school sang with the orchestra. Three of these will graduate, and one will carry on their remarkable work alone next year. Toward the end of the evening, or rather the beginning of the morning, the poor fish were captured, and were glad to find a resting place upon the walls of their Alma Mater. They too shall be as souvenirs of the grand time at good ol' Green Mountain. ACT V May Day Festival, May 14, 1937. Today Green Mountain Junior College held its own Coronation Day. It was the first real observance of the crowning of the King and Queen of the May, John YValdron and Ruth Murray, respectively, who were elected by popular vote of the student body, as the two students who could successfully uphold the school standards of personality, brilliance, and honor. The attendants to the Queen, who performed the traditional May Pole Dance, wore evening dresses of pastel Shades, while the King and Queen were gowned in crimson and royal blue velveteen. The program, in honor of the Royal Family, consisted of a contrast between physical education of the past and present. This was followed by dancing, such as: Hungarian Folk Dancing, tl1e Virginia Reel, and character dancing. A dramatic fantasy Pierrot of the Minute was presented by Mrs. Imogene L. Holmes, and Miss Marion Gritiith, dramatic instructors of the college. The Freshman Hop climaxed this day of days. It was held in the gym which was uniquely decorated as a jungle scene. The University Club imported from Dartmouth College played. Thus ended a brilliant year of social events. Frost Kidder College Dining Hall - Morse Broughton Sx endsen

The impressive power of Coach Jack Heffernan's Green Galaxy was not to be denied and after a first-game slump they bombarded their opponents with a ferocity that could not be coped with to sweep to victory time and again. The defeat itself came at the hands of Clark, the only squad to score on last year's undefeated and untied Green and Gold grid machine. In a slovenly exhibition of football, G. lil, C. fell before their onslaughts 12-7. CHORNYAK SNARES OFFENSIVE HONORS But from that point until the end of the season, an almost completely renovated Golden Horde slashed and battered its way through to six consecutive conquests. Their might and skill constituted a dazzling offensive, while a line that outcharged its rivals on every play, dug in its cleats and set up a nearly-impregnable barrier to its assailants. Although brilliant in every department, the season's play threw into bold relief the pigskin Wizardry of Mike Chornyak, whose end sweeps and unerring passes were perhaps the most dominant elements in a sparkling Green and Gold attack. His open-field running and a passing ability little short of sensational, paved the way to pay dirt on nearly every occasion that the Green Galaxy pushed the ball into touchdown territory. NORWVICH BOWVS Following the Clark contest, the fiercely-Hghting Mountaineers ran the score up to 37-0 against a husky Norwich Freshman array before the final whistle blew taps on their efforts. From the outset the onrushing wave of green-jerseyed players swept over the Norwich forward wall in a continuous deluge that more than matched the afternoon's down-pour and they showed for the first time in the campaign the power of which they were capable. Every bit of their scoring punch was needed in their next fracas, when they barely nudged out a stubborn Nichols Junior College eleven, 8-6 on Jewell field. After a bitterly contested first half which ended in a scoreless deadlock, G. M. C. rallied to take the van for all time. The first counter came early in the third chukker. A steady, unrelenting drive upfield to the Nichols five-a drive in which Chornyak, Trop and Wells set the pace-culminated in a fumble that Nichols promptly re- covered to end the threat. As Nichols attempted to boot out of danger, however, big
