26 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL splendid examples and arguments we were able to form new resolutions concerning fire prevention and what “our bit” should be to help reduce the huge number of fires. III The subject of our out of town speaker, Mr. Rudmann, of the Baypath Institute, on October 23, was “Work.” His interesting and spirited talk was a challenge to us all to have higher ideals and do something that may be counted as “work.” His hopes for the youth of today were made ours by his excellent comparison of the carp, a strong fish, battling against the strongest currents, likened to today’s youth battling against all adversities towards the biggest, best, and finest things of life. He concluded with two inspiring quotations: “What you are thunders so loudly in my ears that I cannot hear what you say.” and “Be strong!” IV Mr. Hartwell, head of the Weather Bureau in Burlington, gave a talk on November 25 on one of the most interesting, puzzling, and widely discussed subjects—the weather. The time simply flew by during his explanations of the weather forecasts, the process gone through to determine these, the meaning of different terms, and best of all, explanations as to the causes of the Vermont Flood. Mr. Hartwell is an old friend of V. H. S., as different science classes have visited the Weather Bureau at Burlington.

Mrs. Chatterton gives each year’s Freshmen the opportunity of taking library lessons. She has just completed a set of four library lessons and an examination given to this year’s Freshmen. Mr. Carter emphasized that since we have this privilege of learning how to use the card catalogue. Walton’s Vermont Register, Granger’s Index, and reference books, we should try to find the information ourselves instead of asking the librarians. This would be one way of showing our gratitude. On December ninth, in an assembly talk, Mr. Carter spoke of the discovery of a record in the form of a charred pine log, suggestive of the Rosetta Stone unearthed on the banks of the Nile. The log was found by Professor Andrew Ellicott Douglass on June 25, 1929. Mr. Carter went on to say that records had not been kept of the founding of Indian settlements in the southwest, but science had given the dates to Indian civilization. Professor Douglass, he told us. began by studying rings in the cross section of each kind of tree. A narrow, ring meant a dry season and every pine tree told the same story. This particular pine log dated back as far as 700 A. D. and was discovered at Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Thelma Floyd, ’31 SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES I Miss Isadore Burroughs, who has been in the United States Government Service for five years, gave an exceedingly interesting talk on September 23.
