BLUE AND WHITE 17 DE REBUS ROMANIS Fabula Pompeorum Olim pulchra urbs erat. Ibi multi populi habitabant. Uno aestate mons, vocatus Vesuvius, incipiebat videri di-versus. Uno die erat lux nulla et humus dissisimus erat. Populi timebant. Mox saxa cadere incipiebant. Populi putabant deos iratos esse et saxa jacere. Cum lava eis veniebat. alii populi pro-perabant ad suos tectos se tegere. Cet-eri ad oram maritimam properabant. Cum suos tectos prospectabant, lavam undique super urbe videbant. Pauci effugebant sed multi populi necabantur. Urbs delebatur. Jeanne Guyett. Agricola et Suae Filiae Agricola pulchram filiam habebat. Agricola suam filiam amabat. Mater puellae morte vocabatur. Puella pa-treni agros colere juvabat et quoque in casa amitam juvabat. Parvam sororem habebat. Bellum erat et parva soror necabatur. Casa et ager delebantur. Nullam pecuniam habebant. Denique bellum ad fineni venit et filius corum domi ex bello venit. Pecuniam aedi-ficere iterum casam ferebat. Turn om-nes laeti erant. Barbara Drew. Hiems in Vermonte Maximum nivis casum multorum an-norutn hoc hieme Vermontem excipit. Multis diebus populi vias uti non poter-unt. Viae tandem aperiebantur et mag-nae ripae nivis undique videbantur. Maius, qui mox aderit. nivem liquibit. Aqua fluminum ibit super ripis. Lacus erit altus quoque sed non ibit super ripis. Populi multi sunt defessi nivis et erunt laeti videre gramenem et flores, iterum. Elizabeth Scott. ’47. Latin I Agricolae et Nautae Flumen latum et altum est. Homines in hoc flumine navigant. Agricolae ripis fluminis habitant. Fru-mentum urbibus multis ah nautis por-tatur. In flumine est insula parva et in insula villa est. Nauta. quis amicus incolae villae erat. periculum ex hostibus videbat, et auxil-ium celeriter tulit. Agricolae et nauta et ejus socii ex hoste servabantur. Margie Wagner, ’47. Latin I Urbes Romae Hodie Caissino, urbs non longa a Roma, est locus notissimus pugnandi hodie. Mil-ites nostri pugnant, hanc urbem e Ger-manis capere conantur. Est difficilli-mum militibus nostris quod Germani fossas muniverunt quae a Romanis veteribus factae sunt. Illae tan bene factae sunt ut a militibus nostris non facile delentur. Alia urbs, quae est notissima hodie, est Roma. Sunt multa aedificia vetera et notissima in hac urbe. Hodie, cum bello, multae illarum a Germanis deletae sunt. Timemus ut, fine belli in Italia,

BLUE AND WHITE 19 GIRLS’ SPORTS The girls’ basketball season officially opened with a game against Hinesburg. This game might have been amusing, but it absolutely wasn’t exciting! The final score being 26-4, in our favor. The next game we played was in our own gym. Our rivals this time being Burlington JV’s. They beat us 40-36. When we played their return game, they beat us again 17-16. Shoreham was an easy game. We won both times to the tune of 51-17 and 39-23. Our next game was to be against the best girls’ team in Vermont. Bristol. They beat us 26-20. and later trounced us 28-9. Brandon didn’t have too much luck this year. We took them 39-19. Then came one of the toughest games we played. At the half it was 14-5 in Shelburne’s favor. We finally won 17-16. Whew, what a game! The return game we took 34-18. Middlebury surely had its amount of hard work and excitement! We won 17-10 from them here. In their own gvm they really kept us going. At the half it was 8-6 in their favor, but we pulled through with a final score of 14-13. That was real playing, huh girls? For a wind-up we picked a pipper, it was Weeks. At the half the score was 18 6 in our favor. Then they did a bit of hard playing and tied us 32-32. After this we accepted New Haven's challenge. Our second team girls did a grand job, taking them 14-10. The game here with them was harder. The first strng played half the time, plus a little. We finally won 17-13. The crowd was startled by a basket from a certain L. G. Don't tell anyone; it took her two years of varsity playing to make one. Our coach this year seemed to be one of us.. She was “Dotty” Fuller, who to our pride and selfish regrets is joining the WAVES. Girls do you think we had anything to do with it? Now for the line up of “44.” Pts. made Right forward, Grace Sears............48 Left forward, Esther Bristol..........50 Center, guard.

I guess that is all, only that next year ought to see a swell team, as it is only loosing one member. This member would like to say, “Thanks girls for a swell time playing with such a grand bunch.” BASEBALL After a very successful basket-ball season which found the first five, all seniors, the 1944 baseball team finds seven of the first nine, seniors.
