VERMONT Four years ago on the opening day of school I chanced to look out my office window toward the Robert Burns monument. There, coming up the walk from all directions, I saw several hundred eager young people returning for the new school year. Many were reporting, not too confidently, I think, for the first time to become members of the freshman class. This group was you, the class of 1953- You were wondering, I am sure, just what the big, red brick building held for you and if you would survive the next four years here. Today as you graduate, I am doing the wondering. I look into your faces as you sit on the stage above me and feel some curiosity as to how much you have improved your time and how much you have profited by your efforts. Each class that graduates faces many of the same problems and opportunities. The road you travel is about the same, but the markers are different for each one of you. You will have your chance to be successful in the many opportun- ities that can be found because this is America. My best wishes and great hopes go with you today. Sincerely,

Physi- cal education, a required course for the first two years, provides both recreation and exercise,- the home economics electives are offered to girls interested in subjects pertaining to home-making skills.
