SMITH SUPPLY CO., INC. sl Speed Skating Team ITH the close of one of the warmest win- ters on record the S.M.O.C. speed skaters carefully packed away their long blades. Consider- ing the undaunted efforts of the boys to practice despite the weather, the team gained much ex- perience and gave a good account of itself. Starting with pre-season training the boys were gradually molded into a team by Coach Vin Morin and Manager Hank McGinnis. At the Winter Carnival the team was ready and awaited the Dartmouth skaters but due to transportation dif- ficulties the Hanover team could not make it. So as not to disappoint the large crowd which had gathered at Roosevelt Park an intrasquad competi- tion was held. The meet developed into a fast duel between John Moran, a freshman from Medford, Mass., and Paul Morin, a junior from Burlington. Another freshman, Bob Flynn, from Schenectady, threatened them continually. The following week the squad competed in the Dartmouth meet where they nearly toppled the Big Greeng only their spills defeated them. After a fall in the first race that took out three of their men they managed to tie the score before the last race. The squad was nursing a lead in the last contest until Flynn and Moran collided, al- lowing Dartmouth to go on to victory. Witli the transfer of Don Beauchemin, team captain, and the graduation of Hank McGinnis, plus the unfortunate death of Paul Morin, the team will need replacements next year. However, it promises to be a strong squad and deserves greater support from the student body. Letls see that they get it.

Building and Grounds NE of the least publicized departments on the campus but one whose effects are being felt throughout the entire day by nearly every student in the school is the Buildings and Grounds Department. Under the direction of Su- perintendent john Buchan, this department quietly goes about its business of seeing that all the facilities on the campus and in the dormitories and other buildings are in top working condition. The janitors, carpenters, plumbers, painters and groundskeepers all are organized under the head of Mr. Buchan and at a word from him are sent to any trouble spot on the campus. But these regular services are not the only ones rendered by this department. Whenever a dance committee finds that its plans for decorating Austin Hall call for more skill than their amateur ability can muster a word to John Buchan will set the wheels in motion and in no time at all the car- penter crew will be in to lend a hand. The same applies for stage sets which are more than usually elaborate. The fine job done for the Kingdom of the Blind is an example of their proficiency. The Campus Room is likewise an indication of the type of work they turn out. The college trucks are at the disposal of any college organization whose purpose is some worthy cause. Mr. Buchan and his crew have time and again gone overboard to some student group in an undertaking which has proved too large to be handled without machinery of some sort. So when you see a lawn newly seeded, a room freshly painted or a patch where someone formerly had gone through the wall you will know that the Building and Grounds Department has been on the lob.
