In the fall a Sock Hop was sponsored, followed in the spring by a Sugar Party. You should have seen the Junior Assembly when they wore their red hat- and sang the Junior Song.

Norman Lewis Secretary-Treasurer .............................................. Marilyn Moulton Adviser .......................................................... Robert W. Bruce With forty-three active Sophomores around the L. T. C. campus, activities were really moving. Among the two-year students — twenty-two of them — there was always the constant scurrying to prepare and get in lesson plans. Have you ever noticed that the people who have the most to do always seem to be able to take on ad- ditional tasks. This particular class has shown this to be true. These Sophomores liked dancing so very much that they sponsored two dances. Who could forget the “quiz program” assembly? Page Twenty-Nine Fr ashman FRESHMAN CLASS First row: I. Dolgin. R. Heon, R.

The freshmen sponsored a hobo dance at which everyone enjoyed himself thoroughly. They also gave us an enjoyable Christmas as- sembly. We expect to hear a lot about the sophomores next year.

Many exhibits have been held including one by our own students. Others who have exhibited paintings were students from Goddard Collee, Mr. Robert W. Bruce, our own art instructor and local artist. Mr. Johnson from Johnson Teachers College, and Mr. Haskens of St. Johnsbury. Our new Art room in Bole Mall has greatly facilitated the activities of the Art Club.

It has suc- cessfully combined business with pleasure when sponsoring the Canasta Party, record dances, and Sliding Parly. Members received rebates on cash purchases after the first semester and are looking forward to similar profits at the close of the year. At the annual meeting in May the members voted to have a final outing to Seymour Lake. The mem- lw:rs agreed to put the interest on their shares into the fund for this trip. This year the membership was around thirty-seven and we are looking forward to a much larger mem- bership next year. Page Thirty-Six DORMITORY COUNCIL First row: C. Latham. Mrs. Merriam. M. J. Month.

Leavitt The activities of the Dramatic Club were greatly enhanced this year by the offering of an elective course in Theatre Arts during the second semester. Members of this class, in conjunction with the regular club membership, sponsored an evening of one-act plays, singing acts, and skits, on B-Day. using the arena drama style in the middle of L. 1. Auditorium. In January, on a newly constructed sectional platform stage, the combined groups sponsored a very successful evening of plays, under the student direction featuring Barrie’s one-act play. The Twelve-Pound Look, and Synge’s one-act tragedy. Riders To The Sea. During the second semester, the Dramatic Club joined with the members of the musical organizations in presenting the three-act opera. The Bohemian Girl, which was given in an adapted form of arena drama on the college Campus. Original dances were composed, appropriate costumes were assembled, and unusual lighting effects were employed. Page Thirty-Eight EXECUTIVE BOARD Firs! row: M. Grant. N. Lewis, E. Mitchell. B.

Bole The Executive Board is made up of students elected to represent the classes and organizations, with its main purpose being to represent the student body in matters concerning administration, school activities, and campus privileges. This year under the active leadership of Everett Mitchell, the Executive Board had a large share in the planning and carrying out of the B-Day program. Soon after school started, a Pep Rally was called in order to get the students interested in this project. From that point onward, the mem- bers of the board worked valiantly, making it possible to climax the whole series of activities with a B- l)ay Open House on January 30.

Stewart Members of the musical organizations participated in a Christmas Concert, consisting of a group of representative Christmas music. One of the features of the evening's entertainment was its variety of Christmas moods. The orchestra regularly played during the beginning portion of each assembly program. The men’s chorus entertained in an assembly. During the second semester, the musical groups combined with the Dramatic Club in presenting Bal- fe’s The Bohemian Girl, an opera in three acts. This successful presentation with its great variety of dif- ferent types of music was in lieu of a spring concert. The music for commencement activities finished what could be called a very musical year at L. T. C Bage Forty INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB First row: M. Clark, J. Whitcher. J. Sund; second row: C.

Marjorie Clark The International Relations Club has for its purpose the promotion of a better understanding of other countries with the growth of international sympathies. This year they have sponsored many interesting speakers from such places as India, China and Cuba who have brought their countries close to Lyndon Teachers College. Members of the club have been in active correspondence with International Relations Clubs in other Vermont Colleges, and have attended several conferences sponsored for the growth of in- ternational understanding. The highlight of the year came on May 20 when the Vermont International Relations Club Council met on the campus of L. T. C. Page Forty-One MEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First row: G. Badger, E.

Leavitt Our writing group has been active this year. We got together once a week to write up our news for the local papers. As often as possible we had pictures taken of the various school events of public interest. Copies of these pictures were then sent to newspapers in the sections from which our students came. Norman Lewis and Barbara Whitney wrote up a weekly school paper called the Blue Sheet, which kept us all up to date with the latest events of the current week. Members of the club took an active part in the preparation' for B-Day publicity. When this great day was over, we wrote, and produced a B-Day Booklet so that each one in our school might have a permanent souvenir of the happening. When we look over the clippings in our club scrapbook, we realize that a busy year has been spent at L. T. C. Page Forty-Three VERLYN BOARD First row: A. Perkins, R. Peterson. F.

This year we have a picture of a school building, our new Bole Hall, near where the pictures of the activity groups were taken. Also this year, the list of the outstanding events of the college year was added. For the second year, the Verlyn Board has been under the able leadership of Richard Peterson. Page Forty-Four W. A.

Johnson Teachers College was met in all three sports during the year. A volleyball club was also formed, and played a series of matches in the spring. The high-light of the year was the basketball Sports Day at Vermont Junior College, when the team- brought credit both to itself and to the college by its display of fine teamwork and excellent sportsmanship. Page Forty-Five ACTIVITY DURING B-DAY At the beginning of the school year what we now term Hole Mall consisted of the small Cutting House and an old barn attached to the ell. With determination, hard work, and a great deal of fun, the faculty and students of Lyndon Teachers College assisted by the citizens of the surrounding area changed these two buildings into modern classrooms made up of a kindergarten, a reading clinic, a men’s lounge, and sever- al classrooms. A large portion of the work was done on B-Day. a day set aside for labor on the actual buildings and for carrying on activities to help pay the expenses of the project. The building was officially opened on January 30. at the beginning of the second semester. At that time, it was dedicated to President Rita L. Bole and christened Hole Hall in her honor. It was due to Miss Bole’s untiring efforts, courage, and determination that made the start, the activities, and the successful conclusion of the project possible. We are all proud of Bole Hall and for what it stands at L. T. C.
