To provide an organization of all athletic letter men which will sponsor ac- tivities associated with Green Mountain athletics. Activities The major event of the year sponsored by the Varsity Club was the annual smoker held on March 20. The program was a versatile one and besides including a variety exhibition of athletic prowess, it consisted of both round and square dancing to the music of The Quintsf' Another unique feature if this yearis smoker was an athletic auction. At this time G. M.'s discarded athletic equipment was put on the auction block and was eagerly sought by both faculty and students. The resulting clinking in the athletic coffers was a welcome sound, because it meant that it would be possible to finance Green Mountain tennis as a varsity sport.
