VERLYN Lyndon Teachers College Lyndon Center, Vermont I Foreword Four years of preparation at Lyndon Teachers College have readied us for our profession. As we leave our college years and begin the journey of application, we hope we may be thought of in these words: TO THE UNKNOWN TEACHER I sing the praise of the Unknown Teacher. Great Generals win campaigns, but it is the Unknown Soldier who wins the war. Famous educators plan new’ systems of pedagogy, but it is the Unknown Teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are decreed. He knows the watch along the border of darkness, and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy of learning, and shares with l oys and girls the best treasures of the mind. He lights many candles, which, in later years, will shine back and cheer him. This is his reward. No one is more worthy to be enrolled in the democratic Aristocracy, “King of himself and servant of mankind.” HENRY VAN DYKE Table of Contents Verlyn ................................... 3 President’s message ...................... 6 Dean’s message ........................... 7 Faculty __________________________________ 8 Staff 1 I Freshmen ________________________________ 14 Sophomores ............................. 16 Juniors ............................. 18 Executive Council ....................... 22 Soccer .............................. 23 Basketball .............................. 26 Softball ________________________________ 29 Baseball ............................ 30 Cheerleading .......................... 32 Government .......................... 36 CFO ............................... 37 Lyn News .......................... 38 SNEA ................................ 40 Cooperative ___________________________ 41 Dramatics ............................. 42 Glee Club ............................. 44 Orchestra .......................... 45 Delta Psi Omega ...................... 46 Council Union_____________________ _ 47 Seniors ............................... 50 Senior Weddings _______________________ 58 Advertisers _____________________________ 59 2 Standing, left to right: George Drew.

Verlyn Staff Editor PAT STAPLES 4 Administration 5 President Message s To the Class of 1958: It has been your good fortune to be students at Lyndon Teachers College during the years that have brought exceptionally good fortune to us all. The faith which we have long held in the value of the work we are doing, and in importance of the duties for which we are helping you prepare, has been well justified. The people of Vermont, acting through the legislature, have provided for many improvements in the college. A magnificent gift has come to us through the generosity of Mr. Lee Thomas. The student enrollment has more than doubled. The final justification of our faith lies with each one of you. As you go into every corner of Vermont to render the service for which you have prepared you have our best wishes for a successful career. You carry with you our continuing faith. Very sincerely, 3. ARTHUR B. ELLIOTT President 6 Dean of Instruction To the Class of 1958: With democracy being threatened with extinction, it remains chiefly with our schools to defend those ideals which constitute our very way of life. In a very real sense this battle must l e fought by you. Your education thus far has given each of you those fundamentals necessary for logical thought. Intelligent, reason- able thought, horn of a sense of jus- tice and humanity, and culminating in effective, fearless action is the hope of civilization. Then be not afraid— seek out your fellowmen and lead them! Never has a graduating class faced such a challenging world but never has dieir world been so full of wonders! I have every faith that you are equal to the challenge and that you will make the most of your opportunities. My congratulations. Sincerely, WALTER J. MARS Dean of Instruction To the Class of 1958: First of all, may I express my wish to each of you as an indi- vidual. as a member of society, and of your profession, a future of happiness and success. I would hope that this would include the understanding and the further de- velopment of a positive approach to life in the direction of mature personal independence. Such growth goes hand in hand with the habit of working out one's own system of values, being aware of objectives and goals, constantly evaluating one’s activities to the point of feeling security in dom necessary to do creative thinking. It is important, too, constructive ways of expressing feelings and establishing oneself and the free- to establish positive, human relationships. Dean of Women Other characteristics will undoubtedly occur to you. If we have helped you progress toward these achievements we have accomplished some of the goals which will contribute toward a greater assurance of your success and happiness. SUSAN C.

September 15 found most of them milling around the college becoming as well acquainted as could he expected in that short a time. By the time the year was well under w ay. the Class of 1961 numbered 74 strong. President. LARRY LECOURS As usual, the majority of the youth of the Fresh- man class hail from the state of Vermont. The majority of the New Kngland states, however, are represented. Talent galore can he found from members of the class. It boasts among other things, a Vermont Sugar Queen in Brenda Naatz. the Lyndon Insti- tute Winter Carnival Queen for 1956-57, Carolyn Handall. and future Boston Bed Sox material. Gay- land Sweet. Soccer and basketball, as well as base- ball. have been very well represented by the Class of 1961. Beth Wood, a member of this class, is an athlete worth watching, and her former experience before attending Lyndon will hack this statement. 14 First row: Nancy Hallowrll, Marjorie Masten. Jean Marceau. Sandra Shores, Sandra Streeter, Mrs. Gallagher, advisor; Priscilla May, Norma Ainsworth, Betty Lou Hutchins, Cccile Ouellette, Norma Ashe. Second row: Delia Heath. Ruth Nelson.

William Randall, John Dunphy. William Gilwee, Winfield Cole, Ernest Hazard. The intramural program of 1957 58 had its share of freshmen taking part. Most of the boys of the Freshman Class reside in the “loft, the upper chambers of the men’s dormitory, and their team in the intramural setup provided the punch that made any needed competition available. Likewise the young ladies of the class participated very enthusiastically. The class activity of the year was the Halloween masquerade ball, held in Bole Hall. Cooperation and enthusiasm among the members of the class made it one of the most successful and well attended events of the year. Behind the slate of officers composed of Larry I eCours, President; Henry Huntington, Vice Presi- dent: Nancy Hallowell, Secretary; and Sheila Halen. Treasurer, the class showed bubbling enthusiasm and college spirit throughout the year. It blended perfectly with the growing, expanding spirit which prevailed at Lyndon Teachers College throughout the year. 15 The Sophomore Class of Lyndon Teachers College found themselves confronted with the task of preparing for the Christmas Ball very shortly after the summer va- cation. This was the sophomore’s biggest activity of the year and. as usual, climaxed the Christmas festivities at the college prior to the holiday recess. The theme of the dance, held this year at newly acquired Burklyn Hall, was what a Christmas in the setting of an old mansion such as Burklyn Hall might have been. It was more or less an old-fashioned Christmas that the students of Lyndon Teachers College and their friends enjoyed on the evening of December 20. 1957.

We must also mention the many members of this class who help compose the many organizations on campus. Behind the fine slate of officers which include Royce Pinard, President; Jay Chandler. Vice President; Nancy Brooks, Secretary; and Elizabeth McNally, Treasurer, the class of 1960 has completed a fine year, and arc one more step on the way to their chosen career. Next year they will have their first taste of practice teaching— a reward for two years of hard preparation. First row: Anita Lonline. Elizabeth McNally. Ruth Harding. Sherry Cole. Shirley Falconer.

President MURDO CAMPBELL Junior Class Perhaps the most longed-for and awaited day of the college year is the day of the Commencement Ball. The task of pre- paring for this event lies on the junior class. This year the hall was a huge success as the juniors escorted the senior class on a fabulous trip “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Start- ing in Vermont and encircling the world in a breathtaking itinerary, the seniors were given a thrill that shall long remain in their memories. This is just one event that the juniors accomplished during the year. They did much more in contributing to the college year. The junior class officers are Murdo Campbell, President; Dexter Willson, Vice President; Annie Wright, Secretary; and Pat Sauer, Treasurer. 18 Around Campus 20 21 M.A.A.

In that game, with Johnson Teachers College’s Lassies, the teams fought to a double overtime scoreless tie. Despite the lack of games played, the girls looked good, and as Coach I a- fayette commented, “It was still a good year.” 23 PAT STAPLES Co-Captains MARY ROBINSON V First row: Raymond Brooks, Erneast Hazard.

The overall record for the club in ten games was 6-4. Huntington led the scoring with 7 goals and Doyle and Kellogg each had six. Pinard kicked in five. The assist department was headed by Kellogg with 11 and Huntington with 8.

The girls posted a fine record in winning three college games and defeating many high schools in scrimmage games. Shirley Hoising- ton pitched and won every game of actual play. Johnson became the lassies' first victim by a score of 18-11. LTC’s second win was over Green Mountain College of Poultney, an extra inning needed to decide the victor. Later in the season Castleton fell to the Homettes by an 11-9 count.

The team left Sunday, April 7. and returned tired, but happy, boasting a 2-4 reeord. late Friday evening, the 19th of April. The eighteen-man squad, accompanied by Coach Lafayette, played teams from four different states—Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Their two wins were posted by defeating Aberdeen Proving Grounds by an 18-5 score, and by out- slugging the Lincoln University squad in Pennsylvania, 16-12. Primarily, the trip was taken in the interest of baseball. However, the team took advantage of the many things offered them by a trip of this sort. Many hours of sightseeing were spent as well as visits to many important places and with many important people. The highlight of the trip was a visit with our President, Dwight Eisenhower. I he team presented a gallon of real Vermont maple syrup to “Ike ' for which he expressed his gratitude. The President also sympathized with “Tootie” Bruce, Hornet pitcher, who pitched a won- derful game earlier, yet lost it. The group is seen below with the President as Leo I.aitres makes the presentation.

Executive Board The Executive Board of the student body is the nucleus of all college organizations and deals with the functioning of all extracurricular activities. The students of the college are able to see the work of the Executive Board through open meetings, which came about this year in an effort to obtain a closer union between the Executive Board and the student hotly. A new washing machine and a clock in the lobby en- trance are evidence of the Board’s work. also. Other items of business on the agenda have been the budget, which was very ably set up; the interest shown in Burklyn; further work on the constitution: and the sending of delegates to the New York conference. This fine group of students are led by Leo Chapdelaine, President; Roland Williams, Vice President; Charlotte Bernard, Secretary; Virginia Worden, Treasurer; and Marge Greenwood, Assistant Treasurer. President, LEO CHAPDELAINE 36 C.F.O i The organization representing most of the religions on campus, and doing many worthwhile charitable activities is the Campus faith Organization. It has as its major activities the sponsoring of the Sheffield schools Christmas party, this year held on December 18. Cooperation and hard work brought in contributions amount- ing to $66 for I NICEF. The week end of December 6-8 saw eight members attend the “Life of the Church” conference in Boston. Led by its officers, Barbara Peters, President: Perley Wright, Vice President: and Sandra Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer, with Delia Heath acting pro tern in Sandra's absence, the C.F.O. has had another successful year at LTC.

President, MURIEL ROCHELEAU The Justin Smith Morrill Chapter at Lyndon Teachers College, formerly the Future Teachers of America, and now the Student National Education Association, had as its primary objective of 1957- 58 the building up and improvement of the or- ganization. An early fall campaign for membership was held. Officers of this chapter are: Muriel Rocheleau, President: Philys Jochim, Vice President; Florence Robinson. Secretary; Dominic Mastrapasqua, Treas- urer; and Dave Warden, Program Chairman. The advisor of the group is Mr. Halliday. 40 ksaata Campus Co-op The Campus Co-op is made of two main divisions: the Bookstore and the Snack Bar. I hese two divisions work together for the welfare of the college students. Barbara Brown is manager of the Snack Bar, while Pat Sauer handles the Bookstore. The officers of the Co-op are as follows: Perley Wright. President: Bill LcGrow, Vice President: Susan Onsruth. Secretary: and Jean Davis. Treasurer. A student becomes a member of the Co-op by buying a share in the organization. His business with the Co-op is recorded and at the end of the year he receives a refund based on a certain jiercentage. depending on the out- come of the Co-op’s business. A certain amount has to be held over for reserve in buy- ing towards the next year. Both the Bookstore and the Snack Bar are expanding due to the increasing enrollment of the college.

Dramatics Club The Dramatics Club had a very successful year as it carried out its program of three one-act plays in the fall, and its three-act play in the spring. Many other ac- tivities were also carried out by or assisted by this group. The club was very fortunate to obtain an advisor with an extensive background in dramatics. Members soon found Mr. Brier very willing to help them learn as well as guide them. 42 A Iwifi.« i y f i f H M | ti I i t 4 i i ii «i� 1«• !

I he Glee Club had another fine year as it producet! an excellent Christmas Con- cert and a spring musical, “South Pacific” as its major accomplishments. The Christmas Concert of French Carols was witnessed by a full house on December 11, and a large group of Woman’s Club members and their guests observed the same program the following evening at the Bemis Community House in Lyndonville. The production, “South Pacific” held on May 7, 8. and 9 proved to be a big success, furthering the organization’s ability to perform these musicals despite its size. Members of the governing hoard are: Nancy Keysar. Chairman; Barbara Sanville, Secretary; Barbara Peters, Treasurer; Sharon Cole, Publicity; Dominic Mastrapasqua, Librarian. The orchestra has been meeting regularly and has organized a dance band. Its major work of the year was to perform as the orchestra for “South Pacific.” Mr. Christopherson. as director, and Mrs. Christopherson, as pianist, worked end- lessly with both groups and were very much responsible for the success which both the Glee Club and orchestra experienced.

Last year the opportunity arose for the building of a chapter at Lyndon. The first three officers of the cast were Wally Harris, Cast President: Robert Kent, Cast Vice President; and Patricia Fenn, Cast Secretary-Treasurer. Following their initiation, eight more members were admitted to the cast as charter members. They were Joy Wood- worth. Marilyn Meader, Joan Simmons. Pauline Bickford, Gerry Brooks. Roger Cou- ture. Susan Onsruth, and Judy Hamilton. This year’s officers are Jud) Hamilton. Cast President; Joqn Simmons, Cast Vice President: and Susan Onsruth. Cast Secretary-Treasurer. The faculty advisor is Mr. Mars. The cast, though small hut growing, initiated three new members last fall. They are Lillian Annis, Henry Parkhurst. and Sidney Patridge. Although the contributions of this fraternity to the college life thus far are small, it must l e remembered this organization is one of the youngest on campus. Further dramatic interests for all students is one of the biggest goals. 46 Council Union WOMEN’S DORM COUNCIL President PAULINE BICKFORD Vice President ANGELA DECOSTA Secretary-Treasurer ............
