BLUE AND WHITE 3 fE ttorial Dorothy Slack, ’37, Editor VERMONT Now that spring has come again nature forces us to appreciate what a lovely state we live in. Just a few weeks ago we were vaguely aware of the kind of surroundings we have but they were rather grey and dismal. Now although most of the time we secretly condemn the rainy days we’ve had. we now and then get a glimpse of perfection, a sunny, happy world which we must realize was made more beautiful by the rain. Every day we grow more and more amazed at the serenity that can he brought by the dazzling glory of the sunlight. However I must stop rambling, about our appreciation of our peaceful scenery and speak of other people’s. Even now with hardly any encouragement at all, people from all over the United States, and even other parts of the world, are traveling through and sometimes stopping in Vermont to catch some of the beauty and peace of our Green Mountains. Just think what would happen with good co-operation on the part of our own people! There seems to be no end to what our visitors could inspire for the improvement of our appearances. Even our everyday living could be made fruitful and worth while—not only making others happy but ourselves!

4 VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL A VERMONT SCENE AT SUNDOWN The silver leaves of the poplar dance in the splendid light, and evergreens shine like burnished gold . . . A thunder cloud, rearing its head in the North, is lighted up by crimson streaks across its face. . . The clouds stretch purple fingers across the sky; and the trees mingle together until they become a hazy blue . . . The trees, whispering together, bow their heads in worship to the wonders of the sky. As night spreads her blanket. the wind whistles softly down the valleys between the green hills of Vermont. Alice Ward, ’38
