Mr. Herrick has spent much time collecting information, of which he now has a large fund. The class wishes to take this opportunity to extend their thanks to him for his helpful informative address. FRESHMAN LIBRARY LESSONS Following her usual custom, Mrs. Chatterton initiated this year’s Freshman class into the uses of the library. According to Mrs. Chatterton, the Freshmen this year have made an outstanding record, consequently the examination took a rather novel form, each member writing a bibliography on a chosen subject. This, of course, caused much hard work on Mrs. Chat-terton’s part, and we wish to thank her for the time she has spent in helping us. Shirley Haven, ’34 VERMONT Vermont—with its changeable weather; Vermont—with its typical days ; Vermont—with its snow covered heather; Vermont we will love always. Vermont—yes, she pities the Southland, With its snow never one foot deep; Vermont—ah, she thrills to the Northland, Whose secrets she fain would keep. Lois Bristol, ’32

Miss Delaney is a new member of the faculty this year and is a graduate of Trinity College, 1930. At this meeting we elected Eleanor Forrest as manager. There were thirteen girls who responded to the call for Basket Ball. They are as follows: Capt. W. Wood. M. Bunch, M. Bour-get. M. Parrish. S. Haven, E. Graves, M. Carter. E. Forrest. R. Rernele, H.
