BIXBY MEMORIAL LIBRARY Onslow Brown, ’29 Its silenced dome darkened with somberness, Concealing within its shadows numberless hosts Marching again. The accompanying drum rolls on; Tropic beasts glide through swinging vines as Natives silently, noiselessly move away in. hollowed Canoes. From within soft strains of Humoresque Issue forth while masters play on enchantingly. Again the pirate ship sails the bounding main ; the Sea Devil, confident, daring, commands. Log Cabins smoulder, Indians slink into their home, the forest. Romantic West speaks, guns report, ropes and saddles are Placed on outlaw stallions. Perry struggles on, gnawed With hunger, numbed with cold. Midst chaos and confusion Sit the poet, the thinker, the planner, the idealist. 1925 Watson Rogers graduated from the Academic Department of the University of Vermont last June and has entered the Medical College. 1926—Julia Waterman, attending the University of Vermont, is a member of the Burlington Symphony Orchestra. 1928—Carol Wilson was elected Editor of the Scop and President of her class at Virginia College.

BLUE AND WHITE 29 Blue and White loosened up and showed the spectators some football. Sheridan put one across on a line buck, and then to top this, Milo grabbed the ball and trotted 80 yards for a second touchdown. At the close of the game there was quite a list of disabled on the Vergennes squad. Among these were Bob Jackman with a bad eye, D. Gee with a wrenched back, and T. Scott with a bruised leg, all of which goes to show that it was really quite a game. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Katherine Ryan, ’30 The ’29-’30 basket ball season opened with quite a response to practice appeals. The girls are in high spirits for the first game with Hinesburg. Last June four of the girls on the team graduated, but we have some snappy reserves left. There is Doris Barton, our captain, whose skill as guard is known by all with whom we have played; and Joyce Young, who is trying for center. In Mary Bunch we have reason to expect a dependable forward. A belligerent guard, whose motto is “They shall not pass,” is Florence Dugan. Katherine Ryan will probably hold down the position of forward. Wilma Wood'is also playing her usual good game. These girls are in running as candidates for the first team. We also have good material to back them in Marion Jodoin, Gertrude Fishman, Harriet Daigneault, Dorothy Remele, Eleanor Forrest, Mary Bourget and Esther Graves.
