imm STATE COU£ $ LYYDONVfllE, VDtBQNT 948 library LYNDON STATE COLLEGE LYNDONVILLE, VERMONT DEDICATION We. the Students of Lyndon Teachers College, feel that we are indeed fortunate to have had you with us as our teacher, adviser, and friend these past two years. From your teaching we have acquired a better knowledge of music and through your great love for music you have imparted to us also a deeper and liner appreciation of this subject. We thank you for the help you have always freely given, and for the opportunities which you have provided for us to participate in many enriching musical experi- ences. As a token of our appreciation, we dedicate to you. Miss Lucille Helen C'harron. our 1948 issue of the Veilyii. TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1948: Graduation marks an important day in your lives. May your many treasured experiences at Lyndon serve as a source of pleasure and as a guide to your future success. However, l e cognizant of the fact that the true-and-happy-of-heart and the courageous are always a success. As teachers, many will look to you for guidance and teach- ing. Your responsibility can be lightened by sharing your love of mankind, by being broad-minded and mentally alert. As a farewell thought, remember the intrinsically vibrant words of Thomas JetTerson, who said. “1 have sworn upon the altar of God—eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” May you as teachers wieid to its fullest extent your power of creating healthy-minded and thinking individuals.

Batchelder Arthur Eliot PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Another year lias passed, and we are nearing: graduation day. which makes us realize just what our responsibilities are. Like the story of Johnny Blossom, we want to be a credit to our school. Living and teaching to the best of our ability, and cooperating in the community are our greatest objectives. In one of Dr. Noble’s lectures, he stated that the teaching profession was “up front” and it is our responsibility to see that it remains in that position. We know that teaching does not just mean giving facts to children, but allowing them to see the reasons behind the facts. This makes for better citizens in the future, and we are trying to develop pupils who will be self-directed, able to get along with other people and also have the ability to get along with themselves. Living with the Great Teacher in mind will en- able us to become worthier teachers, ourselves.

Our three major activities, which we will have concluded at the end of the school year, include: a Christmas concert, given for the Woman’s Club, an Easter cantata, “Eastertide.” written by Paul Bliss, and participation in the com- mencement activities. In addition to these three, we have prepared special music for assemblies.

The committee assigns a “big sister to each freshman. The “big sister writes to her little sister during the sum- mer and. when the new freshman arrives in the fall, helps her to become acquainted and answers any questions which she may have concerning the curriculum, rules, etc. The Friends of the Freshmen Committee also plans our Open House Program with the aid of a faculty adviser.

The first project which we undertook was the supplying of some useful clothing to a needy family. The box. which was delivered around Christmas, contained used clothing, mittens knitted by some of our mem- bers, and some clothing which the girls made from new or used materials. We also sponsored the collection of articles for a family in town who lost their home and possessions through fire. At Open House, the Red Cross group put on a two-minute skit in assembly to explain our work to the visitors.

It is now able to take an active part in the W.A.A. Program, 'file Club .consisted of about twenty members this year and each member was obliged to hike fifty miles to obtain credit, ten of which could be unsupervised. Several organized hikes were taken in the vicinity of the college, and the members also enjoyed an over-night trip to Pierce's Mills.
