■V ’ H E R E IS YOUR I 9 5 7 VERLYN LYNDON TEACHERS COLLEGE LYNDON CENTER, VERMONT LIBKhKI LYNDON STATE COLLEGE LYNDONVILLE, VERMONT FORWARD As we stand on the threshold of tomorrow we choose to remember these lines and apply them to our profession: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, and just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim. Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less travelled by. And that has made all the difference.

Sunday, September 11, the reception committee greeted the largest Freshman class ever to hit our college. Varied were the emotions experienced those first few days—excitement, fear, brave hope for the coming year, but everyone ready to drive on toward their goal of becoming teachers of mankind. The freshman class consists of 64 members after losing a few, but gaining three new members at the semester break. Six states and Vermont lay claim to these youth—Georgia, New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Ohio. Because of the large increase in enrollment this year, the loft of the boys' dor- mitory was finished off for additional living quarters. The freshman boys were chosen the first to initiate the loft in the upper chambers, and they have arranged it in a very pleasing, livable fashion. The boys should also be commended on the way they have proven the honor system can work, even in tight quarters. This class has proven big not only in size, but also in action. They are well represented in all activities of the college. The SNEA membership, for example, is largely composed of freshmen. Skiing seems to be a favorite pastime of the freshman class and they boast many outstanding skiers. F R E S H M A N 10 First row: Anita Lontine, Sherry Cole, Nancy Brooks, Rosalie George, Jean Irons. Second row: Gail Martin, Diane McCarty, Maxine Emery, Carolyn Smith, Rachel Astle, Jean Davis, Emily Eaton, Barbara Sanville, Rose Dutton, Angela DeCosta. Third row: John Bushey, Raymond Brooks, Paul Mon- tague, Seavie Rideout, David Warden, Richard Hook, Charles Woods, Roger Sicely, Kenneth Welch, Dom inic Mastrapasqua, Frederick Hill, John Gambeski. C L A S S Sports have really drawn from freshman resources. The boys are the backbone of the JV basketball team, and three boys made the Varsity, with Raymond Brooks being among the top ten scorers in New England. The girls have also done their part by supplying six girls for the basketball squad, and six others supporting the volleyball team. The other fields of activity have not been forgotten. Henry Park- hurst, along with Wallace Harris, represented Lyndon Teachers College's Co-op at the National Cooperative College Conference in Kansas. They brought back many suggestions on ways of improving our campus co-op and information on coopera- tive houses, which may be food for thought for a growing college. Dominic Mastrapasqua, Paul Montague, Richard Worden, Henry Parkhurst, David Warden Charles Woods took a trip south to Brattleboro to attend the Vermont High School FTA Conference. The delegation discussed teacher education and told some of the highlights of campus life at a teachers college. The class put its united efforts into one of the best masquerade Halloween dances ever experienced by Lyndonites, led by their officers Ralph Momaney, president; Raymond Brooks, vice president; Nancy Brooks, secretary; Elizabeth McNally, treasurer; and Dominic Mastrapasqua, student government representative.

On September 19, 1956, the class of '59 resumed its academic endeavors as Sophomores. Less uncertain than they were last year, the class was determined that teaching would be their chosen field. It's not an easy life for freshmen in college, and much credit and commendation is due all those who weathered that trying first year. Elected as officers of the Sophomore class were: President, Dick McAllister,- Vice President, Burns Page; Secretary, Shirley Day; Treasurer, Tony Campbell; and Stu- dent Government Representative, Marge Greenwood. Mr. Christophersen was chosen as the faculty advisor. The Sophomore year in college may aptly be called the stabilizing year, as it is in this year that the student really gets the feel of college life and gets his feet on the ground. Much lies ahead; in the two years that are to follow, the biggest job facing the student will be his practice teaching experience. This period will enable him to really tell whether or not he will be suited for the field of teaching, and whether or not he will be happy in it.

Frank Higgins also rejoined the school after serving four years v ith Uncle Sam. Buddy Chapdelaine represents his class on the executive board this year in the office of Vice President, and Annie Wright was chosen as Assistant Editor of the Lyn-News. The Sophomores this year sponsored the annual Christmas Ball with the theme, What's Behind the Green Door? This was well planned and well received, and we of the staff of the Verlyn, representing the Senior Class, would like to express our thanks for a job well done. At the winter carnival, the Soph's showed their superiority as they swept the events and took first place. They are proud to claim the Winter Carnival King, Bill Le Grow, as one of their classmates. As a finale to their Sophomore activities, the class will be responsible for decora- tions for Commencement.

This year's Junior Class, probably one of the biggest Junior Classes ever at Lyndon, had their work cut out for them when school started in September. Their biggest activity of the year, of course, was the Commencement Ball—the most enjoyable event of the year. Being a lively group, the Juniors promptly began to make plans for the dance. They organized committees to cover different phases of the Ball. The Juniors were well represented on the boys' soccer team by Captain Rollie Williams, Pat Davis, Donald Lindsley, Preston Bruce, and Manager John McLeod. Junior girls out for soccer were Mary Robinson, Josephine Biegal, Lucille Musgrove and Shirley Hoisington. Basketball season saw Preston Tootie Bruce ringing them in for the Hornets and Patricia Fenn, Patricia Staples, Mary Robinson, Lillian Annis, Shirley Hoisington and Manager Pauline Bickford gave their talents for the girls' team. Patricia Fenn and Virginia Davis took an active part in the Cheer Leading department. J u N I O R 18 The Juniors had their first taste of a most enriching experience—student teaching. After two years' preparation, this class worked wholeheartedly for eight weeks. First row-.

C L A S s showing great promise for the future. Wedding bells rang for some Juniors. Pat Davis and Virginia Glover were married in the summer of 1956 and Patricia Ladd became the wife of Richard McAllister. Jean Paris became the bride of Fred Ball. Pauline Bickford, Mary Robin- son and John Doyle all became engaged during the year. Congratulations to all from the Class of 1957. Anne Wilson, formerly of UVM, was added as a new member of the Class of 1958. With one year left at Lyndon, this class is bound to make its presence known through their many talents and contributions to Lyndon Teachers College. OFFICERS President .......................

The Executive Council is made up of the officers of both the Women's and Men's Athletic Associa- tions. They regulate and control the activities of the two organizations. Fine intramural programs were set up by the council for both women and men students. Working under a limited budget the board did a fine job in keeping Lyndon's athletic activities on a high standard. 22 COUNCIL AlirE HAZEN, President SOCCER The soccer season of 1956 brought only a few recruits, but under the supervision of Coach Harry Ness fared a good season. Thirteen re- turnees and five freshmen tried their luck at this game. The lineup was as follows: goalie, Elaine Willson; fullbacks, Alice Hazen and Shirley Hoisington; halfbacks, Vivian Boardman, Marjorie Greenwood and Patricia Fenn; and front line, Etta Bishop, Elizabeth McNally, Barbara Brown, Mary Robinson and Hazel Squiers. The remaining teammates, Josephine Riegal, Lucille Musgrove, Ruth Harding, Arline Merrow, Edith Hammond, Patricia Staples, and Manager Rachel Astle, certainly all helped in some of the tight spots. In the first game the girls teamed to- gether but were defeated by Johnson Teachers College. They tied two evenly matched games with Vermont Junior College and won over Castleton Teachers College.

Second row: Manager Burdette Brown, William LeGrow, James Perkins, Wallace Harris, Preston Bruce, Coach Lafayette, Franz Smith, Jay Chand- ler, Murdo Campbell, Manager John McLeod. Under the guidance of coach Roland Lafayette, the Lyndon Hornets soccer team rolled to a suc- cessful season in 1956. Sparked by veterans Al Renaud, Rollie Williams, Leo Laitre, Bob Kellogg, Wally Harris and Tootie Bruce, the team looked mighty impressive. The new uniforms they used added a bit of color to each game. A sideline feature that added much to the home games was the Scottish drum and bugle corps band composed of Arline AAerrow, Larry Moffat, George Drew, Paul Montague, Royce Pinard and Salty Park- hurst. The boys came out in front with a winning season. Their wins included one over Johnson and two over Windham. They lost one to New England College and tied Keene Teachers College of New Hampshire.

Coach Harry Ness, had one of the finest seasons in the history of the college. Off to a bad start, the Varsity finally hit its stride against arch rival Castleton Teachers College. They then continued on and whizzed through the remaining games. The Green Hornets sported new warm-up jackets this season which took the place of the aged and worn out older jackets. Next year's team hopes to be a veteran team as only Captain Wally Harris will be lost by graduation. SCHEDULE Alumni Nasson College U.V.M.

The J.V.'s played a wide schedule of games, ranging from college teams to Class A high schools. Most of Jfneir games were played as preliminary to the varsity. The young Hornets from Vail Hill highlighted the season with an iron man stunt by playing three games in two days, winning two of the ball games.

They began the season with a win over Castleton Teachers College and continued the column of wins with one over Peacham and two over Lyndon Institute, our valley neighbors. The season was necessarily short because of a late spring for which Vermont is sometimes noted. This did not daunt the spirit of the Vail Lassies as their season indicated. The 1957 season has prospects of being equally successful since all of the squad are returning for another chance at home runs.

B A S K E T B A L L The 1957 Lyndon Hornettes finished with a very successful basketball season under the coaching of Mr. Lafayette. A more rigid schedule was presented by the debut of three additional teams on the college level. As these games were intermingled with high school contests, it made for a rather full season for the girls of Vail Hill. The record, based on college competition, went into the books as 7-2, while a 7-1 record was posted with the local high schools. With an eye to the future, a desirable schedule would include more games on the college level. For the first time, new uniforms were acquired which added a great deal of enthusiasm and good spirit which was exemplified throughout the season.

He is married to Colleen (Brown) Reilly, a class- mate. Jon has always been interested in helping Lyndon's student government grow and has been the organizer of clean-up day for the past two years. He has always been a backer of freedom for the student and has made it a point to act in the best interest of the greater number of students. LEO CHAPDELAINE Vice President Sophomore Buddy, the sophomore tenor, is the Veep elected by the students of L.T.C. for the year 1956-57. His duties, although not as numerous as other of- ficers', have been important ones and have been well carried out. Buddy took over the helm of the Executive Council for eight weeks in the ab- sence of President Jon Reilly. He has kept the organization running smoothly and productively in all its branches whenever called upon. VIRGINIA DAVIS Secretary Junior Ginny, the former Virginia Glover, is the note taker of the student government. Her duties and abilities are far from just that. Efficient and exact in her work, she has made it easy for material to be uncovered for use. Ginny has done consider- able correspondence for the council and has kept the board up, too, on all public relations. She also finds time to add bits of helpful hints to the council whenever intricate problems arise. CAROLE GARAND Treasurer Junior This position is probably the most dreaded office in the whole school, but this job Carole has managed to handle with a minimum of hair pull- ing. Through the new system of bookkeeping in- troduced by President Elliott, Carole's task has been softened. The amount of work stays the same and this is where Carole has shown her effectiveness. Carole also manages to take an oral pa. i the function of the executive board along with her assigned duties.

The Executive Council of the student body is the parent of all college organiza- tions and is responsible for the general makeup of all extracurricular activities. This year the council functioned smoothly with all major organizations represented at the meetings. Improvements made through this group ware numerous and in- cluded such things as: television for the school, solution of the parking lot problem, and the introduction of a new bookkeeping system. The budget of the student government was the greatest concern of the council. Through hard work and much consideration a well balanced budget was obtained. The executive board also made steps toward constitutional improvement. 37 HAZEL SQUIERS, Dormitory Council President The Dormitory Council Has for its many duties, locking up the build- ing at night, enforcing the laws that the whole of the women's dormitory makes, and in general seeing that dormitory life runs smoothly. Its one big project is Christmas decorations and overseeing the Craft Party. The Council sponsors a birthday dinner every three months for those people who have birthdays during those months.

Like the women's Council, it sees that the dormitory life runs smoothly. Freshmen are welcomed in September by the and the Men's Union to- gether. 38 CAMPUS The Campus Cooperative had another success- ful year with a definite profit from both the Snack Bar and the Bookstore. Improvements were made in both departments of the organization, the pur- chase of a refrigerator, milk machine, and ice cream cooler being some of the major changes. The Co-op also sponsored two members, Wally Harris and Henry Parkhurst, to the 11th Annual Cooperative Conference held at Kansas University, Kansas City, Missouri. The delegates brought back a great deal of information for the Co-op to use in the future.

She has been referred to as the unsung hero of the Glee Club and the Jazz Band, and rightly so, we feel. It is spirit like this that makes any endeavor a successful one.

He has worked in all types of school systems, both large and small. Dr. Derthick is affiliated with civic and youth organizations as well as with the educa- tional field.
