THE VERLYN 27 more. They ought to be useful to someone. There they go—to that well-dressed, prim, motherly soul, Priscilla Lunnie. Now see what we have! It's only “that laugh” that Gertrude Desjardins will no longer need, since she is going out into the field. Going, going, gone ! to the pink cheeked, dark, curly haired little miss, Isabel Renfrew. Look at this practically untouched Math, book, guaran- teed to give someone plenty of work next year. Betty has taken wonderful care of it. My, my! The only one that wants it is that lover of knowledge, Doreen Bliss. Now for a bargain! One free excursion ticket to Derby Line. Marguerite has so many she’d never miss one. We give it to that petite miss, Hilda Jock. (Stanstead isn’t far away.) Here’s a sneeze, a real musical sneeze. How Sanborn House has cherished it; how the girls have laughed at it; and how Bun Ford has been annoyed by it. Sold to the lady with “horse fever”, Flora Gesundheit! Here’s a new one! Three drawers of scrap paper! Whose? That non-note writing, Scotch lass, Hilda Martin. A bargain no freshman can afford to miss. Come on, Cecil, remember all those classmates you’ll have next year. There it goes — and Cecil gets it! A prescription for a perfect form! Who has it now? Why, Marjorie Peake. How’s it done? Marjorie says that bowling helps and is loads of fun. Now listen to that girl in that corner bid. She’s got it! What’s your name, lady? Oh, Isabel Mug- ford ! Attention! Lillian Sawyer’s interest in men in their late twenties. She says they are awful nice. Ah, another girl thinks so too. Listen to her bid ! Guess she knows something about them. Let’s see, she has red-hair, freckles, and 1 bet her name is Velma Cinnamon. How about something to eat for a change? A whole, dozen, luscious “Ward” cakes donated by Elsie Rollins. Aw, Hazel ? now we know your weakness. Ha! a walk that gets you places! Marjorie Ford hasn’t missed a day of school all year. Well, girls, who needs it most? Gertrude Parsons knows. Let’s give it to her, ah, girls?

26 THE VERLYN On their arrival in New York they again stayed at the Cole’s Hotel which was situated directly across from Times Square Building. Looking up they saw this flash of society news — Letha Me Lam to marry heir to Folsom’s Millions. 'Hie next A. M. they took the train at Grand Central Sta- tion for the good old Green Mountain State. Erma Whitcomb Letha McLam Zeda Chaffee CLASS AUCTION Ladies and Gentlemen: We are gathered together here today to dispose of the various odds and ends kept and cherished by the unforgetable, highly efficient, doubly intelligent graduating class of 1937. Attention!! How much am I offered, for this nice jar of frogs containing every specie under the sun? Caught by hand and by net, by Bernice Webster and the Honorable Charles H. Hapgood respectfully. Rain or no rain, the worthy class trans- ported them home. Going, going, gone! to the Freshmen class. (May you become expert picklers under the guiding hands of Mr. Hapgood.) Who wants this position ? President of a group of irre- sponsible fun-loving teachers-to-be, namely president of Sanborn House now held by May Stevens. Every bidder must be depend- able, honest, free, white, and twenty-one. Sold! to the lady with the beautiful auburn hair, Joyce Ray. Here’s something Zeda Chaffee doesn’t need any more; a whole basket full of argumentative ability, which has been well exercised in Math, class, and guaranteed to make anyone a “Doubting Thomas.” Sold to that quiet, little, domestic lady, Urania Emerson. Just look here! A five foot shelf of Dr. Elliott’s Encyclo- pedias. Anyone purchasing same may be able to keep up on their scientific terms as well as Dorothy Cowling has this year. Sold to the shy, pessimistic, little Senior-to-be, Clara Webster. See here! A perfectly good pair of silk stockings, with only one run in each one, but Lola Currier won’t wear them any

28 THE VERLYN Look at this! Strowbridge is very generous. She has given the class a two-in-one bargain. It’s a combination of an interest in the writing of love sonnets and Ye Okie Tavern. Step right up here, lady. My, aren’t you tall, and Edna, what cute, black curls. Step right up! Who wants B. Webster’s Cinderella-like tendencies? Careful, girls, because it might keep you out until midnight. Sold to another lover of movies, Ruth Walker. Hear ye! Hear ye! Erma Whitcomb has something that few girls can own. Remember that lively swagger? It’ll make the fellows look twice, girls. Well, someone wants it and she looks like that tall, blonde they call Beatrice Covey. Right this way, folks! See the great big football hero; his name need not be mentioned. For further detail see Martha Paterson. What, no bidders? In that case, said article will be reserved for sale next September. Just the thing for all kinds of illnesses — a large bottle of rubbing alcohol, formerly used by Elinor Scott. Look at the invalids in the audience. Don’t all speak at once! Here it goes to the tall blond lady with the green blouse, Marjorie Hill. Just what you’ve been waiting for, aid in your nature class, A whole collection of various water animals. Those planning to take nature next year shouldn’t hesitate to bid. Oh, the musical lady with the curl in the middle of her forehead wants it. Sold to Mona Aldrich. If you care for further help, Mona, you may call on their former owner, Karlene Russell. Evelyn Sheltra can no longer keep her position as nurse maid to a certain junior and freshman girl. Here’s a chance for any promising young maid to build up a career. Gone to the tall lady in the back row, Sarah Bass. Don’t keep them out too late, Sarah. Now we’ve come to the end of our bargains and we have just one last article to offer you. It is a whole ton of hard “coal . It will come in mighty handy next year. If you don’t believe us, ask Thelma Curtis. Think it over, folks. Oh, a tall gentleman in hack wants to say something. Step back folks and give Dean a chance. He’ll need this to keep Smith Cottage warm next winter. We hereby nominate, and appoint Ernest Sanborn, he be- ing the most responsible, staid, and dignified undergraduate, as
