One of the best stepping stones in its progress has been that of advertising. The gullible American public has let itself become inveigl- ed into thinking that a simple life is the most detrimental. This trend has not been wholly intentional on the part of the consumer, but who is hard boiled enough to resist the earnest pleas of National Buy This NVeek and National Support That Week or the gala headlines of Cure-All, Save-All, Bargain-All merchandise? In order to go anywhere you must wear Flashy Fashions, powder your face with Decosmetized Power, wash your teeth the Doctors Way, start your car with Super Octane Tetraethy gas, Zlllil then you can enjoy your trip provided you stop in and buy this and that. VVhat a hardship it was to live last year! But all that is changed. This year is the last word in everything. Buy before the stock is out! That's it - spend your money, wait twelve months and then trade it in. Such a good way to make a profit, don't you think? Wliat has all this to do with us? just this, This false way of spending our money is due to continue and increase. We are about to take our places in the world. To do this successfully is a big order, but a level head with keen eyes on all tempting ways to spend our money will aid us immensely. Many times advertising is so disguised that we are convinced of what is said before we realize that it is trying to sell something. The simplest rule to avoid having our minds made up by publicity men is to make them up ourselves, a f i FULLER HALL , ,J my W ff , ,mf .L-3? if V S THE ACADEMY STUDENT STUDENT BOARD 1939-40 Editor-in-Chief Philip Brown Associate Editor Howard Hawley Make-up-Editor Margaret Gillander Boys' Sports Editor Bob Simpson Assistants Raymond Fox.

Prevalent attacks on science as a universal menace Which, through its material products, promotes and encourages crime and Warfare and is the fundamental cause of unemployment can be and should be answered. Science is Charged with causing unemployment because of the scientifically-produced advance of the machine, which replaces men. It is blamed for crime increases since it has given criminals speedy cars, machine guns, and many other things which make crime less difficult to accomplish. It is accused of promoting wars beause of such features of modern warfare as poison gas. All these Contributions are produced by science through the use of the scientific method, which may be outlined in four steps. First, the scientist makes experiments and discovers new facts, seCond,.he judges the value of the facts and arranges related ones in order of importance, third, he considers the facts and draws some conclusion, fourth, he tests his conclusion by fur- ther experiment. This method is applicable not only to physics and chemistry, but to almost any field of research. By this type of Work machines were in- vented and perfected. and likewise by this method it is more than probable that the unemployment problem will be solved. Even at the present time our government is using something very like the scientific method in trying to relieve the distress of the unemployed. It may be seen, therefore, that the same science which created the problem of unemployment is being used to solve the problem. The scientiiic method may also be employed to advantage in approach- ing the crime problem. This method has made great advances in recent years not only in crime detection, but also in crime psychology, which classifies criminal types. studies criminal backgrounds, etc. These contributions to the abolition of crime must obviously more than overbalance the scientific aids to crime. The charges against science for promoting horrible warfare are, it must be admitted, more weighty than any others, but the rebuttal to these carries more than equal weight. Science has invented machine guns, air raids, poison gases and high explosives which make war supremely hideous and atrociousg it has also provided newly-developed surgical work, faster transportation from the battlefield to the hospital, and various forms of protection against poison gases. Another reply to these charges lies in the comparative ineffectiveness of the super-weapons in war. Their cost is, in general, prohibitive, therefore they cannot be used very extensively. Their effectiveness, due to wasted materials and adequate protections, is rendered fairly slight, except for the psychological effects on those attacked. War then reduces itself for the most 10 THE ACADEMY STUDENT part into the hand-to-hand fighting which has been typical of wars for een-- turies. If wars shall continue to occur. it seems that the work of the scientific method in saving lives which would otherwise have been lost and in devising protections against war weapons will be of greater importance than what science has done to facilitate war. The material products of scientific research thus appear to be the cause of injury to mankind, rather than science itself. Men use them without under- standing the scientific method which produced them. For example, in the lum- ber business, scientific methods are frequently used to make the cutting of trees more efficient and quicker. But the same method is not applied to the problem of vanishing forests, which is the basic cause of spring floods. If the men who clear the forests would discover by experiment where to leave enough trees to prevent floods, a cause of great distress and expense would be elimin- ated. lt is also true that this method can be used to advantage in solving other problems. VVhen the scientific method is used in abstract as well as in concrete problems, then will science cease to injure mankind in any wayg that is, if science has injured mankind. it is not because science has gone too far, but because it has not yet gone far enough. ---Duncan Corliss SALUTATORY ESSAY PHILOSOPHY AND THE POETS f'l'oetry is a sort of musical shorthand capable of expressing in a few words vast areas of experience, as well as the realm of the imagination beyond experience. This is one definition of poetry. VVhile all thinking people at times feel the enigma of life and long for an explanation. poets feel life's problems more sensitively than others and at times have clearer glimpses of truth. Because poets seek expression in language they leave a record of their inner experiences, experiences which range from despair to ecstasy. In the poetry of all ages and in all the poetry of any age one finds expression of both these attitudes. Many early poets and dozens of modern ones have felt that life is hope- less, that materialism and disillusion have created discord. Swinburne wrote in the nineteenth century- Here life has death for neighbor And far from eye or ear Wan waves and wet winds labor VVeak ships and spirits steerg They drive adrift and whither They wot not who make thitherg But no such winds blow hither, And no such things grow here. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 11 Today .lames Thompson tinds life a City of the Dreadful Nightng T. S. Eliot suggests that the modern world is a Waste l.and. The poetry of Housman is steeped in philosophic pessimism. Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundationg All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vaing Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignationg Uh, why did I awake? When shall l sleep again? A step out of this complete despair is found in the idea of certain Greek philosophers that pleasure is the final object of life. Such a philosophy has probably been voiced in every tongue and in every age but nowhere more vividly than by the eleventh century poet Omar lihayyam in his famous Rubaiyat. Oh, take the cash and let the credit go. Nor heed the rumble of a distant drum! Uh, make the most of what we yet may spend, Before we too into the dust descend, Dust i11to dust, and under dust to lie, Sans wine, sans song, sans singer, and sans end. In our own day, Edna St. vincent Millay sings in similar mood: .4 I burn my candle at both endsg lt will not last the night But ah, my foes, and oh. my friends, lt gives a lovely light. Probably one of the best loved poems in the English language is Thomas Grayls Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. The reason for its popularity is not far to seekg it is very soothing for those who have failed. l'erhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial tireg Hands, that the rod of empire might have swayed. Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre. Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bearg lfull many a flower is born to blush unseen, ,-Xnd waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village llampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood: Some mute, inglorious lVlilton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood. This attitude, that no matter what may be the outcome of life or how complete the failure. it is not the fault of the individual but of circumstance, differs sharply from that of another group of poets. who say that even if life is hard and cruel one must bear it bravely to the end, enduring calmly, even grimly, whatever it brings. This is the message of Emily Bronte's The Old Stoic . 12 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Yes, as llly swift days near their goal, 'Tis all that l implore: lll life and death a chainless soul lNith courage to endure. Prayer by Louis Untermeyer is also concerned with the general struggle of life, yet this poet asks not for victory, but rather the ability to learn from defeat, to refuse to grow comfortably self-satisfied, and to share the ugliness as well as the loveliness of life. God, though this life is but a wraith, Although we know not what we use, Although we grope with little faith, Give me the heart to light -f and lose. Ever insurgent let me be, Make me more daring than devout, From sleek contentment keep me free, And fill me with a buoyant doubt. Open my ears to music, let Me thrill with Springls first flutes and drums- But never let me dare forget The bitter ballads of the slums. The most perplexing problem to thinkers since the beginning of time is the so-called problem of evil. How can a belief in a good and omnipotent God be reconciled with the injustice and suffering we see about us? Alexander Pope, living in the eighteenth century age of reason, attempts a scientific answer. lie says that if we could only grasp the whole scheme of the universe, we should be able, like God, to view suffering in the proper perspective and calmly observe that we are all parts of one stupendous NN'hole, whose body Nature is, and God the soul. All Nature is but Art unknown to theeg All chance, direction, which thou canst not see, All discord, harmony not understoodg All partial evil. universal good. :Xnd spite of Pride, in erring Reasons spite, Une truth is clear, Whatever is, is right. Since man is capable of reasoning, Pope maintains that reason can and will govern life. Perhaps an even more optimistic attitude is taken by Robert Browning in Rabbi Ben Ezra. Yet gifts should prove their use: I own the Past profuse Of power each side, perfection every twin: Eyes, ears took in their dole, Brain treasured up the whole, Should not the heart beat once How good to live and learn? THE ACADEMY STUDENT 13 Not once beat Praise be Thine! I see the whole design, I, who saw power, see now love perfect too: Perfect I call Thy plan: Thanks that I was a man! Maker, remake, complete, - I trust what Thou shalt do I XYhile the idea that this life is somehow good is dominant in many poems, other poets contend that a future life is necessary to compensate for the injustices ol this one. Rudyard Kipling expresses his view of a heaven in L'Envoi. And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blanieg And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fameg But each for the joy of working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the thing as he sees it for the God of Things As They Are. In a century when people had very deep and fixed religious convictions, it can readily be seen that scientific theories such as evolution would cause tormenting doubt. Religious thinkers in the nineteenth century were torn with doubts about immortality. They found an answer in Alfred I.ord Tenny- son's In Memoriam with its beautiful expression of the current religious conflicts and its hnal conviction that fear, doubts, and suffering will find answer and relief only through faith in a God of I,ovef' Shortly before his death Tennyson requested that his lyric Crossing the Bar should always stand at the end of any volume of his works, as a final expression of his hope and faith. Sunset and evening star, .-'ind one clear call for me! .-Xnd may there be no moaning of the bar, XYhen I put out to sea, Hut such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound or foam, XYhen that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark I- And may there be no sadness of farewell, VVhen I embarkg For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face XYhen I have cross'd the bar. 14 THE ACADEMY STUDENT Although it would be easy to conclude from a rapid glimpse of present- day verse that the 11OtC of pessimism and disillusion is the general one, a more comprehensive study would reveal along with this a directly contrasting tone of mystic ecstasy. The mystic feels that the ultimate nature of reality may be known in a divine apprehension. He has a feeling of direct union with a spirit quite beyond any earthly experience. lfrancis Thompson feels this in The Hound of Heaven. I fled Him down the nights and down the days: I fled Him, down the arches of the yearsg I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways Of my own mindg Zlllfl in the midst of tears 1 hid from llim, and under running laughter. Up vistaed hopes, I spedg And shot, precipitated, Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears, From those strong' Feet that followed, followed after But with unhurrying chase, And unperturbed pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, They beat-and a Voice beat More instant than the Feet- All things betray thee, who betrayest Me. In conclusion we might say that from this wide range of experience and imagination there is a poetic thought which can touch every mood of any human being. Perhaps l-laniel I.ong's The Poet sums up the poet's contri- bution. I take what never can be taken, Touch what cannot beg l wake what never could awaken, But for me. l go where only winds are going, Kiss what fades awayg l know a thing too strange for knowing, I, the clay. -Barbara Counsell THE ACADEMY STUDENT 15 CLASS HISTORY Hitler seizes Czechoslovakia!

VVhen it had received its first registration cards it was all set to do things. And believe you me, it has. At its first Hallowe'en party it received three prizes. Kenneth Bailey the school's outstanding golfer, annexed the golf championship by a 9-T win over the other finalist, an upper classman. The home economics classes were so ardent that a new model kitchen was installed. A German girl straight from Germany, Ingrid Xlfohlrab, joined this outstanding class. VVhen the faculty discovered what promising speaking voices addressed them, a public speak- ing course for underclassmen was introduced with versatile Mr. Baldwin as instructor. In '37 L. 1. was promptly crushed with a hard-earned victory of T-0. As a reward of patience Harry Parker won the state record in the discus throw. Sports were not the only events in the limelights. As proof, several of our more serious-minded boys were sent to Northfield to the American Legion camp to learn more about our government. Harry Clark, our essay genius, won the district finals with an essay on the weighty subject Old Ver- mont Graveyards. As mighty seniors in the fall of '39 some of the muscular members of the class dug their football suits from the mothballs and limber- ed up their bodies. They closed a successful year with a 12-7' victory over L. I. Harry Parker, our football captain, was honored with a place on the All State Football team. Paul Howe, Dick Franklin, Kenneth Bailey, and Raymond Fox helped the Academy to replace Burr SL Burton Academy of Manchester as champions of Vermont interscholastic golf. In the field of Music, Hazel Hersey and Cynthia Sargent tied for first place in a music memory contest held in Chapel. Lucia johnson won first prize in a music contest sponsored by Harvey's Music Store. As the crowning event of the year our dramatic stars carried away the laurels and also a shining plaque and cup from the New England Drama Festival at Northfield.

Due to the increased number of girls living at Brantview, a new room was decorated and furnished. Fire escapes were also built to insure the safety of the eighteen girls and seven teachers living there. Ingrid VVohlrab was chosen house president. A guest-rocm infirmary has been provided at Charlotte Fairbanks Cottage. This is to be used for guests of students or teachers. lt will also serve as an isolation room for sick students. Fourteen boys and four teachers are living at the Cottage, with Harry Parker as their president. Several gifts were received during the fall from interested friends and alumni. Mr. john Henry Watsoii, jr., class of 1900, a prominent lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio, who donated S500 for a baseball diamond last spring, gave another S500 for the completion of the project. Professor Oliver VV. M. Sprague, '90, last year's Commencement speaker, started a Teachers' Endow- ment Fund with a gift of 350. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Estabrooks established a prize of 35 to be given each commencement to the student doing the best work in third or fourth-year Latin. The prize was given in memory of their daughter, Lauray, a member of the class of Till. The track team will be greatly benefited by the new 7320-yard straight- away, the gift of the class of '38, Mr. Hubbard hoped it would be ready for use this year, but it has not yet been entirely completed. The hurricane on September 21 caused a great deal of excitement in school. Two large trees were blown down in front of Colby Hall, and the THE ACADEMY STUDENT 57' janitors were busy for weeks picking up branches. The students appreciated the blow since they were excused for not having their homework done the following day. The senior captains of the honor point divisions for the year were as follows: Colby. .lanice Fuller and Daniel l.inehang Fuller, Thelma Prescott and Kenneth Bailey, Putney, Arlene Ayer and Robert Mulveyg Fairbanks, Ingrid XYohlrab and Roland Roberts. lt was necessary to enlarge the Home Economics room due to the augmented enrollment. .X small room. formerly used by Mr. and Mrs. Lund- gren, was added to the original llome Economics room. The Future Farmers, as their mechanics project, made a Doodlebug tractor. lt was constructed from a 19533 Model B Ford one and one-half ton truck, and gave the boys practical experience in making farm machinery. The Academy chapter of the F. H. A. played host to the State Confer- ence of Future Honiemakers in Fuller Hall on October Hilda Handy, president of the St. rl. A. club, was elected state president. The girls have held monthly tea dances charging ten cents admission, and have bought new maple furniture for the Home Economics House with the money. At the Hallowe'e11 party games were played by divisions instead of having the usual faculty and class stunts. Miss Yeranian and Miss Stilson, as the hardware twins , won the prize for the most original costumeg Eleanor Murphy, '41, for the most beautifulg Zlllfl blason Granger, '42, for the funniest, Graham Andrews and Leslie Farr were appropriately presented with a bottle of ketchup as the prize for making the best guesses as to the number of beans in a jar. The STUDENT was represented by seven board members and two faculty advisors at the State Press Conference in Burlington on November 20, Due to a new plan of experimental debate, the Academy, with several other secondary schools in Vermont, did not join the lnterscholastic League this year. Consequently all debates were non-decision and were conducted according to three forms: the English Forum plan with audience participa- tion. the National Forensic two-man debate, and the legislative Round-Table plan. The Academy has debated largely with New Hampshire schools, but has also given practice exhibition debates in Vermont. Two questions have been used during the season - Consumer Cooperatives and the Anglo-Ameri- can Alliance. Next October when the debate coaches hold their first meeting, the school plans to re-enter the X fft' ermont lnterscholastic League which at that time will adopt one of the three forms used in the experiment. The Green and VVhite l'layers climaxed a very successful year by winning tirst place at the New England Drama Festival representing Yer- mont with The lioy Comes Home. The cast. stage managers. directors and four of the highest ranking members of the club were entertained for the week-end of April 28 and 29 at Norwich University. During the year the club has presented a program of three one-act plays: Rich Man, Poor Man, 58 TllE JXCADEMY STUDENT f . . ,atm 1939 Track Team Babouska, and In Heaven and Earthg a three-act play, Captain Applejackg and Meet My Sister, a comedy in one act written by john E. Baldwin, assistant dramatic coach, given May 17 as a beneht for the baseball team. The big feat of the Outing Club was to climb Mt. Mansfield by the trial. Also, members went on a barge ride one moonlight night with supper and games in the North Danville schoolhouse: on a treasure hunt to Grady's Field with supper in the IIS Ski Club cabin, and on several supper hikes to the knob. Sixty couples, no stags allowed, attended the gala NVinter Carnival sponsored by the Outing Club on February ll. The event was presided over by the Snow Queen tMary Millerj and King lNinter tKen Baileyj. Their at-A tendants were Lucille Hooker, Robert Mulvey, Ann Parsons, Bob Fisk, Phyllis Murphy, Lawrence Cutting, Edgar Murphy, l.ucia johnson, and Rich- ard Tilton. This was a program dance with Stan 'Iones in charge of the floor show. A St. .lohnsbury Chapter of Allied Youth was organized to show stu- dents that more lun can be had without alcohol than with it. The club spon- sored a concert on February Ii given by Mariam liurroughs, violinist, and Ruth Sparrow, pianist. The tirst party was a spring dance for members and their guests. During the season Dr. Edward Craniton lectured to the members on the effects of alcohol. The second-year art students, with the help of their instructor, Mr. Chadbonrne, painted murals on the walls of the banquet room in Fuller Hall. The murals are Major Rogers' March, The Battle of Lake Champlain, The Settlement of St. .lohnsbnry, and The First Academy Building. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 59 The newest organization is the French Club for any students who have had two years of French or who are getting at least a B in second-year French. Meetings have been held at Brantview, the llome Economics House, Miss Katherine Bingham's and a final meeting out-of-doors. The tirst president was Barbara Counsell. All conversation at the meetings is in French. Various honors have been achieved by individuals this year. Clara McGill won the school prize speaking contest with ,Ioan XYhite and Margaret Hooker placing second and third. Lucia johnson was elected to represent the school in the state D. A. R. contest and won honorable l1lCl1lll011 in the state decisions. Cynthia Sargent and Hazel Hersey won the Music Memory Con- test in identifying songs played on the Music Appreciation programs in chapel. Randall Boyce was declared the junior vocabulary champion and jean Mclienzie Zllltl 'lean Campbell were 1't11l11CI'5 up. Donald Gillette was chosen to represent the Academy at the Montgomery l'rize Speaking Contest at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. At the present writing three seniors have won college scholarships, Donald Powell to Lafayette University in Penn- sylvania, Eric Martin to W'esleyan University in Connecticut, and Stanley jones to Norwich University in Vermont. Ethelyn l'ratt won first place in the district vocal contest while Raymond Brown placed second. The chapel programs were unusually well balanced with vocational and inspirational talks, music, plays and movies. Natalie Rodger learned from a speech by Leland Gray of the Twin State Gas and Electric Company how to rescue an asphyxiated person, and that evening saved her father's life by ap- plying the methods. Every other week alternating with the morning choruses Mrs. Goodrich has put on Music Appreciation programs with students taking part. The Dramatic Club has staged three one-act chapel plays: Happy jour- ney, Elmer'l and Sardines. The senior members of the French class also presented a play. Among the various excellent movies was a reel showing the effects of the hurricane and one on methods of communication presented by the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company. Three reels of talking movies were presented by various companies. Several alumni have given speeches. and interesting talks on various colleges have been heard. The Academy has broadcast once a month over Station VVDEV at VVaterbury. The Glee Clubs, Alumni, F. H. A., F. F. A., Music Appreciation students and individuals from foreign countries have taken part in the prof grams. The combined Glee Clubs with the Dramatic Club presented a nativity pageant at Christmas. Thirty-three members attended the Vermont Music Festival in Burlington May 4, 5, and ti and Rupert Southard 'll was chosen to sing two baritone solos. The Annual Commencement concert was given june 9. The seniors, with true loyalty to the school, voted to hold their Prom in the Old Chapel instead of off-campus as in former years. This enabled many more students to attend than before, and the expenses were much less. The Baccalaureate speaker this year was Robert XY. Gibson. Mr. Gib- 60 THE :XLXXDICMY STUDENT son graduated from St. bl. A. in 1914 and was active in football, basketball and track. He graduated from Muskingum College and the Pittsburgh Theological School, At the present time he is pastor of a church in l'ittsburgh. The Com-- mencement speaker was Miss Elizabeth lflall of the class of ISHS. Sports Review FOOTBALL On the whole, the football season was reasonably successful, consider-- ing the opposition which the team faced. In the records is seen only that the team won three games, tied one team which was undefeated, two others that had lost only two games, Zlllfl won their last game by the huge score of 51-0. The Green and VVhite opened the season with a tie game, their oppo- nents being alumni who are still playing on college teams and elsewhere. The much older and more experienced men did deserve to win, but a few bad breaks cheated them out of the victory. Because of the fact that it was the first game some consideration should be given to the inexperience of some players and the unfamiliarity of it all. The Green and NVhite dropped the next two games both to teams on the other side of the state: the first to Bellows Free Academy, and the second to Burlington High School. Both teams were conceded the games by the sports editors, but the Academy eleven held them down and at frequent inter- vals showed up marvelously. On Columbus Day, just as Columbus discovered new territories, so did the Academy team 4413 years later discover new territory. They trimmed the 1938 Football Team THE ACADEMY STUDENT til Newport Flame 20-li, and did so with amazing incidents. The climax of the game was the 86-yard jannt made by Red Lavigne. A light, speedy shift attack was characteristic of the whole team on that eventful day. The next week the Montpelier Solons journeyed to St. and returned to their capital city with the Academy scalps hanging from their belts. It was a o11e-sided affair with the Solons having the side. The Academy turned on the dormant heat in the last two minutes and marched 55 yards to their first and only score. The Green and White tried its luck in a new stamping ground and was again foiled, this time by the Red and W'hite of Lebanon, New Hampshire. The tricky team of the Red Devils was too much for the eleven and ran up the score to thirteen while the Academy got a goose-egg for their efforts. They did show a spurt near the end of the game but were halted mid-way in thir march to the goal. ln their classic tussle with the Red and White of Lyndon Institute the Academy found their stride and trampled the Lyndonites in the dust with a 12-I victory. The game looked for a while much like the same old story, as the Red and White scored a touchdown and the extra point. But the Green and Vvhite came back in the second quarter with twelve points, to put the Academy out in front. The outstanding feature of the game was the brilliant defense work of the newly inaugurated quarterback, Bob Fisk. He showed that he belonged in the game by knocking down the amazing number of nine passes and intercepting tive of them. ln the last game of the season the Academy really went to town and piled up the gigantic score of 51 points. This was achieved against the Little- ton Red and White and was certainly the linest of finishes to any season. Hopes and expectations were restored to a degree but not as much as they should have been. The team should be remembered as the heaviest in the history of the school and also for stamina, courage, and fine sportsmanship. BASEBALL The first game of the spring season was played at Craftsbury, but it was called off at the end of the fourth inning because of rain. The score was tied at 5 all when the game was halted. Starting its initial season on the new dia- mond at Hazen Field the team had a ltl game schedule and had high hopes of surpassing last year's accomplishments, that of winning the Northern Yer- inont Championship. Coach Redington has four letter men on which to build his team, and through their combined efforts he and Assistant Coach Henry have rounded out a well-balanced ball team. BASKETBALL The .Xcademy basketball team completed its most successful season in 62 Tllli A-XQUXIUIEMY STUDENT 1938-39 Basketball Team several years. The team, under the coaching of llana Redington and Assistant Coach Irwin Smith. again captured first honors in the Northern Vermont League with decisive and impressing doulile victories over Newport, Lyndon lnstitute, Mclndoes, Bradford and Orleans. The alumni also lost to the varsity, and the only defeats suffered by the team were at the hands of Montpelier High and Lyndon Normal, who each played St. vl. A. twice. The outstanding events of the season were the two defeats handed to Orleans High. l'revious to this year Orleans had won straight games from the Academy, and these two victories proved to he the high lights of the entire schedule. At the end of the season St. VI. A. was selected to playoff Spaulding High for a herth in the state tournament. Spaulding took a closely contested game which closed the season for the tireen and NYhite squad. GOLF Entering their third State tioll Tournament, the St. ,l. .-X. team einerg- ed after lS holes of medal competition as the Vermont champions. Golf was first introduced in St. rl. .-X. in the fall of 10:55 hy .lack Baldwin, who has coach- ed lmoth the hoys' and the girls' teams. l.ast l'all's tournament was held at the St, .lolmshury Country Cluh, and when all scores were turned in, the Green and XVhite team had a decisive margin of I2 strokes over Montpelier, who placed second. lfor capturing' the state honors a heautiful plaque was awarded to the team, This trophy, engraved with the names of the memhers of the team, has been placed in the .-Xcademy trophy case where it will remain permanently. The memlmers ol the championship team are Raymond Fox, '-105 Richard Franklin, 'rltlg l'aul Howe, 'Jing and Kenneth Bailey, Till. THE ACADEMY STUDENT 63 TRACK The Green and NVhite Track team at the time of this writing has lost one meet and won one. They also competed in a sectional meet held at the University of New llampshire in Durham. The team as a whole looks promising and it is expected that a good season is in the ofling. Doing heavy service are two oi the team's outstanding men, Captain Harry Parker and Red Lavigne. Both have turned in excellent performances to date and should be even better for the state meet. The team lost its tirst meet held at Kimball Union Academy in Meri- dith, N. H., but since it was the lirst event and many of their opponents were high school graduates it was an anticipated loss. The boys started training late due to inclement weather and as a result were about two weeks behind the usual schedule. Several mistakes were evident in their first encounter, but these were later ironed out. Next the team journeyed to the big sectional meet in Durham for the week-end and were less successful there. However the team was out of its class, and the outcome was expected. The last meet that we are able to record proved a victory, the Academy trimming Lyndon Institute decisively. The team seemed considerably improv- ed, and many ol the individuals had developed greatly. The impressive thing was the number of lirsts which the Green and XVhite captured. Due to this remarkable improvement some good records are expected in future meets. 1 939 Baseball Team G4 THE AC.-'XDEMY STUDENT GIRLS' SPORTS Archery : - Betty Dinsmore successfully instructed beginners in archery last fall and this spring and gave pointers to the advanced shooters. About sixteen were out for archery last fall and nine signed up this spring. M erlene Legare, jacqueline Begin, and Lillian Yake tied for the highest score. LL. Golf: Since the inclusion of golf in the girls' sport program four years ago, there has been a steady growth in its popularity, although it is decidedly handi- caped by the short season and the lack of sufficient equipment. Girls are given instruction by .lack Baldwin in the fundamentals of the golf stroke and practice i11 the use of the various iron shots. This year through the co-operation of the St. 'lohnsbury Country Club it has been possible for the girls to secure membership at a nominal fee and to put into practice some of the things they have learned at the practice lield at Brantview. Tennis : Miss Ruth Sparrow did a fine job of coaching tennis for the fall and spring seasons. Mastering the fundamental strokes is the chief object of the players. Early spring practice began in the gym until the Brantview court was dry. lior fall practice thirty girls showed up, while this spring there were twenty. Miss Sparrow began a ladder tournament during the middle of May. Basketball : The only winter sport for girls is basketball coached by Miss Valentine. Putney division won the Dorothy Q. Adams banner with eight victories out of nine games. Fuller, who gave l'utney her only defeat, came next with six victo1'ies and three defeats. Rosemary -Iones, a freshman forward on the Ful- ler team. topped the list of high scorers by a fair margin with ill points during the entire season. Mildred li. Merchant and Hazel Howland, both of Putney. scored next with Til points. Marion llagan of Colby followed with a TU. All four teams have excellent guards. lt is the forwards that pile up the points, but the guards put up the important defense. Softball : Softball was added to girls' sports this spring with Miss Ruth Sparrow as its coach. About 40 girls turned out at the Brantview field. inter-division games were played during May.
