CLASS FEATURES

Page 93 text:

OUR PAST Wle, the prospective class of 1937 arrived in the fall of 1935. VVC, afraid, were respectfully humble to the lorded Sophomores, but they, not satisfied, exercised their inherent power by subjecting us to a Hell VVeek. This, although not actually torturous, continually humiliated us. lVe were forced to appear in freakish costumes, to cat onions to the weeping point, to recite inane verses, and to obey willingly all their commands. Soon we emerged to find that we were to function as an important part of the student body. Election of class officers took place. Those honored were: President, Gordon Kingsley, vice-president, Bertrand Andrews, secretary, Ruth Murray, and treasurer, Roland Gifford. The Class Advisor was Miss Ellithrop. Several athletes became history makers, and some scholars were elected to Phi Theta Kappa. The Freshmen elected to the Men's Student Council were Roland Gifford and Richard Lawrence. Those clccted to the VVomen's Council were Elaine Beach and Betty Carr. The Social Committee sponsored two events-a rather unsuccessful informal dance in February and a vcry enjoyable promenade which took place soon after the spring recess. The decorations were green and white, the orchestra, Cleve Fyles of Rochester, Vt. . Higrliliglits during the year were a winter snow carnival, Communism Day, several formal dinners and dances, many informal and basketball dances, and a May 'Day celebration. Most of the class left school immediately after comprehensives but some stayed for the President's Ball and the Graduation ceremonies. Upon arriving in the fall of '36, we found our prestige heightened, our ranks slightly depleted, and ourselves well out-numbered by throngs of Freshmen. However, we held our own in the initiation, better known as Hell Yveek. Yet the Frosh won the Hag rush and the tug-of-war. Once again class ofiiccrs were elected and Jack VValdron was elected president, Russell iVilliams, vice-president, Ruth Murray, secretary, and Edward Sennctt, treasurer. Miss Ellithorp was again chosen Class Advisor. Sophomores elected to the Men's Council were Richard Lawrence, .lack Vlaldron, and Bertrand Andrews. Bertha lVhite, Alison Belding, and Esther Isham were elected to the YVomen's Council. In the fall an informal dance was held for the class and in the spring, April 9, the Sophomore formal-the most elaborate and enjoyable dance yet sponsored at Green Mountain-climaxed the class activities. Square-dancing and Boy-Ask-Girl dances were popular in early spring while the year book, term papers and play rehearsals constituted a menance to good times. Anticipating May Day, comprehensive examinations, two or three informal dances and one formal, the Baccalaureate program, Sunday, June 6, and Commencement, June 7, at which Bishop Francis J. McConnell is scheduled to speak, we bring our past down to date, confident that some of our readers will remember that there was a class of 1936-37. Class Scribe-M. A. B.
