BLUE AND WHITE 29 La Femme N’est Pas Folle” —Oh. dit line dame au directeur d’une maison de four cju’elle visitait, quelle drole de femme je viens de rencontrer, quel mechant regard a-t-elle! —Oui, je vois qui c’est. —Est-elle dangereuse ? —Oui. quelquefois, repondit evasive-ment le directeur. —Alors pourquoi la laissez-vous cir-culer ainsi en liberte? —Je ne puis pas Ten empecher. —Pourtant, c’est une pensionnaire qui est sous votre contrdle? —Non, elle n’est pas pensionnaire et encore moins sous mon contrdle, c’est ma femme. Rachael Slack, '48. Paris! Belle ville ou se trouvent La Butte Monmartre—le Musee du Louvre. Les Champs-Elysees, ou Ton va toujour s. L’Arc de Triomphe, aussi dans “le tour.” Les modes sont “chic,” et “comme il faut.” Les femmes sont belles, les homines sont beaux. Dans les rues, il y a beaucoup de cafes Ou l’on sert “petits-fours” et “cafe-au-lait.” Beverly Wright. Les Sports et Jeux Fran$ais Les ecoliers franpais ont beaucoup de jeux. Les plus petits enfants jouent a la marelle, a colin-maillard, a la toupie et a beaucoup, d’autres jeux. Les garqons plus ages jouent a coups de pied avec un ballon de cuir. C’est un sorte de jeu comme notre football, qu’on applle le rugby. Tous les villages ont leur equipe de rugby. On v joue pendant l’hiver et les matches de championnat sont suivis par un public enthousiaste. Le tennis et l’escrenie sont des jeux ou les Franqais excellent. Dans la boxe ils ont produit des champions fameux. Il y a aussi des sports athletiques comme courses plates et courses de haies, le saut, le lancement de disque, du javelot et du poiels. Il y a aussi les sports d’eau comme la nage et prommenades a la rame. N’oublions ]ias l'alpinisme, ni les sports d’hiver: patinage, ski. luge; ni les sports mecaniques: motocyclisme, au-tomobilisme et aviation. Bernard Dike.

BLUE AND WHITE 31 PATROL REPORT The student patrol has had quite an eventful and successful year under the supervision of Mr. Galipeau. We started off the year with all shifts up to full strength, and in spite of a slight decrease in membership during the winter months, are now back up to our normal complement. In September, work was started immediately by the girls’ drill team, which devoted one or two periods a week to practice in preparation for drill exhibitions held at basketball games. We were very fortunate in having with us Robert Barrows, who is taking a postgraduate course. Robert, having been captain of a previous drill team, was able to give us much help. The drill team, composed of sixteen girls, led by Captain Betty Norton, was generously applauded each time it drilled. This same drill team, by request of Captain Dickens, may give an exhibition in fancy drill for the other schools of the state during the Music F'estival which takes place in Burlington May 9-10-11. In this, the first parade since 1941, there will be seventeen boys and seventeen girls commanded by Betty Norton and Robert Barrows. Early this spring, Mr. Bishop started drilling the boys on the fundamentals of marching. Since Capt. Dickens retires from office July 1st, this will be the last parade that he will review while still in office. He has been captain ever since Vergennes has had a drill team. When we went to Washington and took third place in the nationwide contest, he was there and took some moving pictures, which he showed us at a local theater this winter. We hope that even though Captain Dickens is not in office he will visit our school occasionally, as he has become our close friend and leader. Jeanne Guyett, ’47.
