VERGENNES HIGH SCHOOL View and Review —Your Editors in this issue . . . Here we are with another “Blue and White,” our Spring and Easter issue, which is bigger and better than ever—we hope! Because everyone cooperated so well and handed in good contributions, the Literary Department is a healthy one. You’d better take a look. A big bouquet should go to our Art Editor, Carl Shaw, whose new lot of cuts are exceptionally smooth. We hope you like the photos of the basketball teams, too,—we do! In fact the whole paper is made up in an effort to please you—anyhow—Happy Easter ! success or failure? . . . With the coming of spring comes, also, another sport. Yes, your guess was correct. Baseball. What does this coming baseball season hold in store for V. H. S.? That, no one can foretell. But—let us stop right here and make a firm resolution that, success or failure, we will back our team with every ounce of spirit and encouragement we possess. Too, don’t break the resolution! Great things have been done by the weakest of teams when a little support was offered— on with the play . . . This year, for the first time, V. H. S. is to enter in the One Act Play Contest. What with a good play, a good cast, and a good coach no one can tell what heights of achievement will be reached. Of course, it must be rfemembered that our representatives will meet in competition, schools which have much greater dramatic advantages than ours. Their best acting is all they can offer—may they win at Middlebury! applause . . . Here we wish to offer a bit of praise where we believe it is due. Fist off—and “hats off” to the Girls’ Varsity for a swell record this past season. Girls, you’ve put V. H. S. back on the map and in the running. Thanks . . Congratulations to the “Spotlight” staff, too. You’re doing a good job although we understand how tough the going can be! Keep up the good work! . . . Lastly, to the Boys’ Varsity Squad—some would say sympathy; we say, “our praise.” You did your best and when that proved not to be enough, you took the breaks on the chin. You’ll be rewarded—.
