A natural born leader, he has consistently been the president of his class. Although a shrimp in size, he is a giant in having pluck and fight. Ask any one who saw him at the XI. A. C. game when he played through a whole quarter with a useless arm. No one had more sportsmanlikc qualities on the football team, and this, with his fighting spirit, earned him aVarsity letter three years in succession. Being versatile, Bob made a fine king of a harem in the Vaudeville show and gave a creditable performance scholastically. Peck is the matron of the third floor and is fondly called by his children up there Oz. Everybody's gonna miss li'l Bobby when he goes down to Virginia to taste the southern climate.

Carolyn is truly very ver- satile anyway-from taking cod-liver oil to dancing. And besides, it is rumored that she is a charming hostess on Sunday afternoon, and entertaining farmers at that. But then, he is different from most farmers, isnlt he? She certainly has given herself freely to the various activities of the school, the Lzfe Board, Literary Society, basketball-all have been the better for her presence.

'Klember how he flashed his wares on the gridiron, basketball court, and on the diamond? These, however, are put in the shadows when we consider his scho- lastic record. Although modesty forces him to be a bit taciturn about his inlluence over the fairer sex, it is rumored over the broad lawns of the campus that many are the damsels who cast wistful eyes at this big, bad blonde from the wilds of Newport, who has kept the occupants of Alumni Hall guessing. Big things are expected of you, Joe, at hliddlebury. Your Winning smile, your academic record, and your athletic ability are going to be big factors in your success. The only difference between Adonis and Joe Hardy is 2000 years.

Although she hasn't red hair, we know something that will get her going. Helen, being one Of the town girls, we do not see a great deal of herg yet, we know her pretty well. They say she makes an excellent nursemaid, and to verify that statement you need only to ask little Johnnie Burke, for those two are almost inseparable. And. too, visiting alumnae have found a hearty welcome at Aleck's. Vl'c hope that this year's alumnae will be as lucky when they return at some future time.

On a bright sunny morning out in Springfield, Bug made his debut and also a resolution to visit V. A. when he got Older. Since he's been with us three years he evidently kept his resolution and we're glad he did, for he's been invaluable to the football team as manager, and a necessary part of the Literary Club machine. Due to his liking for music, his room now holds the greatest capacity record in thc Dorm, boasting some 20 odd fellows on a bed, a dresser, and under the table. The attraction, Outside of Bug, is the orthophonic he has in his room, and from this fact we come to the conclusion that a managership of a football team isn't so bad after all. There-'s one consolation for the underclassmengwhen he goes, he won't be so far away that he can't pay V. A. a visit Once in a while.

A fine example of a true Vermonter whose presence on the team last fall was a big asset to our success. Any time a scrap started Chuck got there if he wasn't there already. Because he's close to the ground doesn't mean he can't leave it, and when he lands again there's a big jar. Chuck has studied hard this year and de- serves to get his diploma if anybody does.

Our hrst impression of Doris was that another quiet girl was in our midst, but we were mistaken! just come up on third sometime and watch her frolic with her roommate. We wonder how she can go to sleep when study hour is but half over, fail to get up when the alarm goes off in the morning, and still manage to keep on the honor roll. And as for generosity,-well, ask anyone who has had the good luck to sample some of her cake from home.

Always ready with a smile, even when he gets up in the morning, Coony helps others pass off their hard work too. and his attempts at red hot solos are gonna be missed next year. He was versatile enough to make a fine member of the Vaudeville lIareIn, and that means a lot.

Yes, indeed, never has a more conscientious, sincere student ever graced the walls of this venerable institution. There is but one regret in Connection with this likable boy. That is that we had the priv- ilege of having him with us for only one year. When l.anky first arrived at Vermont Academy he was on crutches, but plenty of food and sleep. and regular hours of exercise worked wonders, and at the end of six weeks he was getting about in great shape. As a student lianky ranks alone. His steady, honest work in Physics and Trigonometry stamp him as being a grim sticker.

Of course everyone was very anxious to know her and, I wonder what she will belike, 'was heard all over the dorm. But no one expected as much as came, in moie ways than one, for she is not only the tallest girl in Alumni Hall, but where would our basketball team be but for her?

A. too, so, you see what in- fluence you have around here, Nellie. just keep that smile of yourS and you will win friends wherever you go. U I Pale thirty-t-wo wilhtat uf 1927 iiaisturp uf the Qlllass uf 1927 In September of the year of our Lord IQ23 a small group of us assembled in the halls of learning at Vermont Academy for the first time in history. VVe were just as green as the grass on the campus in May. Since we were only Freshmen and most of us had never been away from home very much, everything seemed strange to us. There were bells to get up by, bells to go to classes by, bells to eat by, bells to go to bed by-in fact it seemed all bells to us then. We were a long time in getting acquainted and consequently late in getting organized. Yet, as the old saying goes, Better late than never, we finally did get organized. The officers elected were as follows: Howard Boynton, President, Audria Gardner, Vice-President, Olive Gallusha, Secretary and Treasurer, also Mr. Otis, Faculty Adviser. We were a pretty game bunch of greenhorns, and we were well represented in athletics, having Michael Smolnicky on the varsity basketball team and Robert Eldredge on the varsity football squad. Charles LaClair represented our class on all the midget teams, Simonds made the midget baseball team. When it came to high scholastic standing even the mighty seniors did not put anything over on us. Quite a few freshmen were on the Honor Roll every quarter. Quietly the time and tide rolled on waiting for no man and we soon found out that we weren't wanted around under foot during that glorious event, Commence- ment. This event seemed to us as something very far off in the future somewhere. Most of us considered ourselves lucky to have successfully gotten through the freshman year and were glad to go home, thereby getting out from under foot. In September 1924 we returned to find some of our former classmates not coming back, but we were glad to welcome some new ones to take their places. We were then mighty Sophomores and we considered ourselves pretty big. This year we determined to get organized earlier and, of course, we did. At the first class meeting the officers elected were as follows: Robert Eldredge, President, Edison Shaw, Vice-President, Russell Layfield, Secretary and Treasurer, we kept Mr. Otis as our class adviser. Of course, since we had been razzed in good shape when we were Freshmen, we were determined to razz the Freshmen in good shape that year. But can you beat it, just our luck to have the Faculty bar all razzing. We had another class meeting and elected a committee to see about a set of Freshmen Rules. YVe got them all right and if you don't believe it ask anyone that was a Freshman at that time. The Faculty added that the rules were to be enforced by the Sopho- mores only. During this year a desire to get our class rings sprang up among a certain few in the class. This idea spread like a forest fire through the whole class. We were determined to get them and as it was our custom to get what we went after, we got them. This pleased us a lot because it gave us three years to wear them before we went to college. Charles LaClair, hlichael Smolnicky, Russell Layfield and Robert Eldredge represented our class on the football squad. Mike was a basketball and track man. Russell upheld the reputation of our class on the track team. W'e were represented even better still on all the midget teams having several midget letter men. This year passed away silently into a thing of the past. VVe were again informed that we did not need to stay around here in the way any longer. It had been a pretty big year for us, and We were glad that we could begin our vacation, consider- ing ourselves lucky to have gotten safely through another year. Since we had been here two senior classes had gone out into the world either to go on to college or to earn a living in some way, shape or manner. We returned in the fall of IQZS as worthy Juniors. It had been told around tha the Junior year was the hardest year in the whole course, so, we made up our minds VBUMHBTTQIHUBMP -D - Page thirty-three to do our very best in all that we undertook. We were very glad to welcome to our class Marjorie Dunning, Roy Hardy, Merrick Wheeler, Herrick Bristol, Allen Clark, and Robert Hoyt fall the way from Detroitl. At our first class meeting the following class officers were elected: Robert Eldredge, President, Audria Gardner, Vice-President, Roy Hardy, Secretary and Treasurer, we also kept Mr. Otis as our class adviser, since he had done faithfully his duty in the previous years. We hadn't known Joe Hardy very long but we made a very wise choice when we chose him as our class secretary and treasurer, as time has proven. This year we started off with a boom! Joe Hardy, Mike Smolnicky, Wheat LaClair, Russ Layfield, Bobby Eldredge and Bob Hoyt came out in answer to the coach's thrilling call for football candidates. Joe was elected captain of the next year's team. The good record was kept up. Hardy, Smolnicky, LaClair, all making their letters in basketball while Wheeler, Poupart, and Bristol, all made the squad. On the baseball team we were represented by Hardy, LaClair and Bristol. The track team would have missed Manager Eldredge and Russell Lay- field. This year it was for us to linger behind and bid the Seniors farewell. Of course it was expected that we should learn how to carry on the Commencement exercises, which, according to our custom of doing everything we should, we did. In September 1926 we returned to our old Alma Mater as Seniors. We were very glad to welcome to our honorable class many new students among whom are Nellie Whitney, Alyce Walsh, Elizabeth Howe, Clifford Counihan, Paul Mc- Namara, Ames Purdy, Fred Robinson. Purdy, Counihan, McNamara, all showed their worth on the gridiron. Counihan again proved his steel on the hockey and baseball teams. McNamara showed to our satisfaction that Charlestown could put out some all round athletes. Robinson was voted by the student body as the most studious boy in the Senior class and Betty Howe, the most studious girl. I almost forgot to say that Betty was the best girl athlete in school. At our first class meeting the following officers were appointed as final oflicers of the class of 1927: Robert Eldredge, President, Carolyn Whitney, Vice-President, Roy Hardy, Secretary and Treasurer, again, we kept Mr. Otis as our class adviser. It hardly seemed possible that we were then high and mighty Seniors. The next thing to impossible was to believe that four long years had quietly slipped away into the unchangeable past. It seemed to us that we had been enduring great hardships such as doing Latin, French, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Algebra, Plane Geometry, or else doing a half hour, or hour, on the coal pile for being out of our room during study hour or some other minor thing. Many of us will long remember the training that we received on the farm while we were here. Since we were Seniors, we determined to maintain our high scholastic standing which as the records show, we have done. Our class has always been active in all Extra Curricula Activities, such as Orchestra, Literary Society, Vesper Choir, Science Club, and Life Board. The Life Board would have been greatly handi- capped without the Editor-in-chief, the Literary Editor, the Business Manager, the Editor of the French Department, and Associate Editors, in fact most of the board were Seniors. Our class has always taken an active part in the Christian associations of the school, such as Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Both the President and the Vice- President of the Y. M. C. A. are members of our class. In the girl's organization the Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer are members of our class also. This year our class has decided to start a new custom which we hope will be- come a tradition of the school. We are incorporating into our Class Day Exercises the Planting of the Ivy. We plan to take a brick out of the wall in front of Fuller Hall and replace it by a marble brick which will have a hollow back. In this hollow the Class Roll, Class Will, Class Poem, and the Class Prophecy will be deposited Page thirty-four V V Y W 7 f W wilhtat of 1927 for time ever lasting. Under this marble, having the numerals 1927 and IVY written on it, there is to be planted Ivy which we hope some day will cover the whole front of Fuller Hall. YVe also trust that the succeeding classes will follow our example and thus beautify the campus. Now that Commencement is here, we cannot help looking back over our stay of four years here and thinking of the good times that we had here together. We also cannot help regretting that our time to leave the dear old institution has come at last. We can only look forward to a greater Vermont Academy, with a greater trust and faith. HOWARD POUPART Glass Brnpbecp Well, Bobby, you know why I called you up this morning and asked you to spend the evening with me? This editor's job isn't any cinch but it keeps you in touch with a lot of different newspapers-competition you know. In this collection of papers I have news of nearly every one of that old class of 1927 at Vermont Academy, the papers are all of the year 1958 and ,5Q. First is Joe Hardy, he always was Hrst anyway. Joe is in politics and is Rc- publican nominee for Governor of Texas. fDon't see how he got it with all those wild cowboysl. Successful as Joe is, he is still a bachelor and there are hopes of a gold digger landing him yet. Memphis, Tenn. Audria Gardner, leading social light, gave a talk for more women's rights and was listened to by an enthusiastic audience. By the way, Bobby, she married once, but is divorced now. Rockingham Speedway. Lee Bowman, driving his axleless 8, smashes 500 mile record and wins first money. 'l He is still alive anyway, though it is a wonder. I guess he gives Bow chills everytime he races. Oh, yes, they were married soon after commencement. Middlebury Times, Mar. 7. Chief of Police Conlon catches crafty boot- leggerf' Old Chub stuck to his old home town, didn't he, and sure is knocking them dead. Wait, why the bootlegger is a Bowen. Say, I bet that is Doc, I guess he will be out soon, though. New York Times, Aug. 7. Position wanted as private secretary and steno- grapher. Address, Miss Lois Rickerf' That is something I can't understand, I should have thought she would have been married long ago. New York Tribune, Dec. 16. See Jack Heith in his latest hit, 'Across the Sea. ' We have been hearing a lot about this Jack Heith but I never knew till last week it was Eddie Sonsire. Eddie and Lena have a great place out in Holly- wood and Lena plays in some of his pictures. They have two sons at V. A. now, a fullback and a tackle. Bellows Falls Times, Oct. 23. Say, that is some paper. There is a lot of news there for us, though. Academy Notes. Prof. Charles Millet voted most popular teacher on the campus. Charlie is teaching French back at the old school, and Carolyn Whitney is teaching Latin and is Dean of Women. They say the rules aren't so strict now, Bobby, with those two running the school. Boston, Oct. 25. B. U. gives Harvard a trimming. Say, that is unusual, at least I thought so till I read the name of the coach, Paul McNamara. It looks as though Mac was making as good a coach as he did a player. Boston Advertiser, May IO. Kenneth W. Dike, P.H.B., B.A., M.S., has just published his new book, Principles of Education. That is too deep for me. He always was that kind of a student. You know all about Tommy Rood so we'll pass him by. What you don't? Tommy Rood and his music makers? Why, Tommy is the second Paul Whiteman. W-Iermnnt Qtahemp Page zhmy-,QW lie is in Europe now. Even the king of Siam did the Charleston when he played t ere. Philadelphia Ledger, Iuly 7. R. Shepard puts thru' big land dealf' Dick and Alyce CWalshl live in Philly, and Dick is doing great in real estate. Herels one from Wyoming. Lander, Sept. 28. Bristol and Clark, owners of the Prize Stock farm, carry off Western titlef' They have taken up scientific farming. Well, I wish them luck. Dud Muschette should have taken up farming, he had so much training at V. A. Instead, he is only a lawyer and argues to his heart's content. North Adams, Mass., June 5. Purdy's great six ring circus and animal show delighted two large audiences here yesterday. Purdy himself, as Jack the Giant- killer, made the hit of the evening. Springfield, Mass., Jan. 8. Merrick Wheeler, chemist for the ammunition plant here has invented a new shell which will devastate an area of 1,000 square feet. I guess that will keep the men away from his home. Whom did he marry? Why, Betty Howe of the great and only I927. Albany, Feb. 12. Thomas J. Riley, D. D. preached a sermon of fire and brimstone against present day morals. He has written a book on that same sub- ject. Must be it keeps on his mind. Montpelier March 6. Vermont has three women representatives at the state house this year. Mrs. H. R. Smith, formerly Florence Morrison, Mrs. Anibal Gomez, formerly Patricia Parker, and Miss Mae Tinkham. The old state will be upside down with those three women in politics. New York, March 23. Wheat LaClair, famous outfielder, has finally come to terms and will play another season for the Giants. I saw him last summer. He sure can hit the ball. Chicago, June 7. Crafty crook again eludes police. Clifford Counihan gets away with 550,000 in notes and bonds. Cliff seems to be dodging police as wel-l as he did T. C. A. football players. Boston Herald, June Io. Simonds leads band to victory in New England title contest. Well, what do you know, Si is still tooting the trumpet. Must be he learned something about classical music from Miss Tibbets, after all. Hanibal lVIo., Sept. 9. Ellis Hull, the great musician gave an organ recital here last night. He was very well received by a large audience. Looks as though Ellis learned to play the pipe organ at that. How to Grow Thin in thirty Days. Enroll now for this course. Great new discovery. just lose weight. Address Miss Muriel Buxton, 48 Williams Street, North Adams, Mass. There is a real classy advertisement, Bobby. Well, Bobby, that is all but a few clippings and letters. Fred Robinson is teaching math at Brown University and has found a new simpler method of solving trig problems. I wish he had invented that sooner. I might have been able to understand some of it. Egbert Tuttle, after running through his fortune and being sued for divorce by his wife, went to Paris, climbed the Eiffel tower and jumped off. What an end for poor Tut. Say, this is the best yet. Mike Smolnicky and Bill Steinhoff are missionaries in Africa. Well, you never can tell what a change may come into a man's life. On the side, Mike is teaching the natives to play football and Steiny is leading cheering. You can't teach old dogs new tricks, at least they never forget the old ones. James Castle runs a clothing store and his wife, Nellie Whitney, spends the profits. Sparky johnson, remember Old Reliable Sparky? He made his million from trans-Atlantic dirigible lines and is happily retired, living on his income. Helen Alexander and Doris Cook are working in the office of Ezra Dike, the Wall Street magnate. Ez thought there was more money in stocks than in saxophone playing. Page thirty-.fix wflbtdf of 1927 Howard R. Smith is in the insurance business down in Scranton, business is rushing, and someone is getting killed everyday. Poupart and Mills run a copper mine out in Colorado and are said to be leading citizens of their town. Vic Hiltunen is U. S. Consul to Denmark. He surely was fitted for that job. I am glad to see Vic making good. Margaret Bengor and Grace Smith run a physical culture and dancing school in Boston. It is very popular, but select. Eleanor Munger is one of the oflicers in that new women's association, or some- thing, that is spreading so. Elizabeth Minard and Eleanor Stowell are both married and living happily. Remember Hilda Osgood? Well, I should smile! You couldn't very well forget her. She is singing for Victor records. But she broke so many that their sales fell off. Marjorie Dunning married someone from England with a title. He died and now Marj. is seeing the world on the money he left her. ' Sally Webster is a nurse at the Henry Ford Hospital. She must be an expert. They have to be to get in there. That makes them all, Bobby, and to tell the truth, hadn't you rather be back at V. A. as president of ,27 than be president of that old oil company of yours? A. G. CURRIER. CEIHSS will In the name of Tradition, Amen. The seventh day of June, in year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Seven, in the village of Saxtons River, Township of Rockingham, County of Windham, State of Vermont, being sad of heart but right of mind at leaving our dear Alma Mater do ordain this our Last Will and Testament.

SIGNED BY THE CLASS OF I927. SALLY WEBSTER. Page thirty-eight fluid! Df 1927 GBM tn the beninr Glass nf 1927 Upward toward steep mystic hilltops Where Life's compensations lie, Climb with swift pace up vague mountains Ere young strength begins to die, Though dim shadows veil Life,s high roads Rough and winding be the trail, Fearless hearts will search new pathways, Leading starward from the vale. 7 So emerge from shelt'ring havens Leaving youthful comrades dear, Sundlring all fair school day friendships, Firmly forged with passing year, And engraved in mind forever, Mem'ries of each by gone hour Will repel despair and sadness Will enrich our buoyant power. Through the misty maze of darkness Life's lane drear and gloomy seems, But seek always for the summit With its white-capped sparkling beams, Ne'er retreating nor delaying Journey on toward higher goals, Helping fellow travelers upward Fearless and brave hearted souls. So we're gazing ever skyward Up the steep enshrouded way, Watching for the visioned starlight With inspiring, brilliant ray, So we're struggling ever starward Striving toward the peak of life, Clinging to the righteous Virtues Conquering thus in storm and strife.

OSBORN The Lambda Delta Sigma Literary Society has now passed its fourth anniversary and has established itself as one of the most active and bene- ficial of organizations on the hill. Meetings are held every Tuesday even- ing in the chapel. At these meetings various types of programs are given. Programs of music, debating, parliamentary law, literary reviews, and readings have composed, for the most part, the regular entertainment after the business has been settled. For the first time in the history of the school a debating team was formed for the purpose of competing with other schools and the members of this team were chosen from within the Literary Society. On March 5 under the direct-ion of Mr. Osborn the club staged a play, Her Gloves, which was conceded to be one of the most successful plays ever put on at this Academy. During this year all the ofiicers of the society and the members themselves have worked hard to improve the society and have succeeded in no small measure. However, we look forward with great anticipation to the coming years and what they hold in store for Lambda Delta Sigma. On Thursday evening April 7 the society held its annual Banquet and Reception. The dining hall was decorated very attractively with the Club colors, blue and gold, and at one end was the society banner and at the other end a lighted replica of the pin. The tables also were arranged prettily. At each cover was a place card in the shape of a banner bearing the club insigna in one corner. Also there were very appropriate booklets bound in blue and gold in which was printed the menu, program, and dance order. After the banquet the students and faculty went into the chapel and there held a very successful dance. The club was very fortunate indeed to have as its guests of the evening the Hon. John E. Weeks, governor of the State, and Mrs. Weeks. Governor Weeks was the speaker of the evening and delivered a fine speech which everyone enjoyed. The affair was a great success and much praise belongs to the untiring efforts of Mr. Osborn and the committee. , ,Y ,,.7,,.,,, Page' fixly wilhtal nf 1927 Wlalter Dillingham JcHcrSon Ruggles Robert Slocum Charley Brooks Jim Ryan lXIrS.

Faculty Advifor, E. H. O'r1s The Y. Nl. C. A. has the honor of being the largest organization of the extra curicular activities in school, this being due to the interesting meetings full of pep that are held each Thursday night. Being a branch of the National Organization we had the privilege of sending our repre- sentatives to the various conferences held in the vicinity. Members of the faculty and the energetic student members of the association have provided excellent meetings. The Y has enjoyed a prosperous year. Among its oil'-campus speakers at the regular Thursday evening meetings were: Dr. Pedelford, Nlr. Sewall Emerson, Dr. T. L. Osgood, Dr. W. D. Bowen, Rev. E. P. Odell, and the always welcome Dad Clarke. Much credit is due to Mr. Ellis Hull for his untiring work in behalf of the association. This, the Vermont Academy Y. M. C.

POLLARD The Young VVomen's Christian Association is a branch of the national organization, and it stands for the highest and finest things in school life. The meetings are held every Thursday night, and the Program Committee chooses the topics and leaders. During the year the girls have been very willing to work, and to carry out whatever plans were made for raising money. Before the Christmas vacation we had a bazaar at which time we made over a hundred dollars. This year we have worked to earn money for a scholarship, which is to be given to some worthy girl who otherwise would not be able to come to this school. Two delegates are to be sent to the Older Girls' Conference to be held in Burlington. The Y. W. C. A. has been very successful in the past, especially during the last two years, and we wish the best of luck next year to the new officers, who are as follows: Prefident, EDITH LERRIGO Vice President, LOUISE CHAPMAN Secretary, ALICE GAY Treafurer, PAULINE BUXTON BOARD LIFE '9'Bl'II'lUlif QEHUBII1 Page Jixt -:even P 3' The Bermunt Zltahemp life BOARD OF EDITORS Literary Editor-in-chief JAUDRIA GARDNER '27 Auociate Editor: RUTH BUXTON '28 MERRICK WHEELER '27 Literary Editor CAROLYN WHITNEY '27 Art Editor: HAROLD SKINNER CARLTON WHITNEY '29 Exchange Editor EDITH LERRIGO '28 Alumni Editor Lois JEWELL French Editor HOWARD POUPART '27 Athletic Editor LAWRENCE DAVIS '28 folee Editorr Lois RICKER '27 WILLIAM WARD '29 Bufineff Buxinefr Manager A:J't Buxineff Manager ' Faculty Adviforf MR.

KARL BRIGGS The Life Board is a group of students chosen by the preceeding Board with the sanction of the principal and the faculty advisors, who endeavor, with the aid of the student body, to put out a school paper of which the students can be proud and which they may cherish in years to come. That is what we have tried to do this year. We endeavored to make our Campus Notes more varied and interesting, our Athletic, our Social Notes more complete, our jokes more original and humorous, and, last but not least, to improve the paper by the addition of a few comic cuts here and there. Itis not for us to decide how successful we were in our attempt, but we hope that the paper this year has at least been as good as those of former years, and we have tried to make it even better. The Board has been handicapped a great deal by the loss of many of its members. In the course of the year, however, the members elected to fill vacancies have done exceedingly well in their various departments. The Life was published five times this year. The cost of a year's subscription is two dollars. Some of the noteworthy articles, or improve- ments, this year have been, the report of Rabbi Wise's Lecture, the addition of the Hall of Fame Department, the enlargement of the Alumni depart- ment, the Flower Guide or Genus Facultatis, and the story, For the Mem- ory of the Coach. ' Much credit for the success of the Life is due to the co-operation of the student body for they have contributed very willingly a goodly amount of material and that is the thing that helps most of all.

Under the expert and careful supervision of hir. Smith, our Science Club meets every Monday night and holds an interesting, beneficial hour of entertainment. The benefit gained thereof is worth the effort to ob- tain the marks necessary for admission to the club. All students must have an average of Sofff, or above in at least two sciences and this must be main- tained throughout the year. During the past term some of the experiments conducted were efforts to make nitric acid by uniting nitrogen and hydrogen, solve the principle of various glass prisms and light, giving the dirigible-like qualities to a balloon by filling it with hydrogen obtained from zinc and sulphuric acid and even lead, the excitement of demonstrating explosives on a small scale. Helpful lectures were given and great aid was given to students in the science classes. The members are Wlheeler, lXflcVVayne, W'ood, Rawson, Mace, Johnson, Tinkham, Bowman, Steinhoff, Sonsire.

A very pleasing program was arranged at Christmas time and was well rendered by the choir. Perhaps one of the most striking features of the year was the Easter Music. Mr. Reynolds increased the number in the choir for this special program, and neither time nor labor was spared, resulting in a splendid concert, which was thoroughly appreciated by everyone who heard it. During the year various members of the choir have rendered solos, and the male quartette has also varied the programs with some Well chosen numbers. On May 28, 1926, the choir went to Rutland to compete with nine other choirs before an audience of one thousand people. The judges were unanimous in awarding the prize of fifty dollars in gold to the Vermont Academy choir. The choir has enjoyed a successful year and much credit is due Mr. Reynolds for the work he has put into this organization. can ??54??43f975 if if fQflllC4iI1itee9fe 125 .

The group rendered several selections at the Christ- mas Yesper service and also appeared in the Yaudeville show of February IQ.

MUNGER Director, Miss CLAIRE T1BBETTs This year the Girls' Glee Club was Z1 little late in starting, but neverthe- less it is making up for lost time and is now well underway, under the leadership of lX'Iiss Tibbetts. At one of their first meetings they elected for president, Betty Howe, and for secretary, Audria Gardner, who later re- signed and whose place was then filled by Eleanor Nlunger. The number of girls in the club is not so large as it has been other years, but just the same they can make some noise. They hold their meetings once a week, and are now working on some very interesting music. The club has not yet given any public performances, and owing to the small number it is doubtful whether or not they will, even later, but they manage to have alot of fun just among themselves. Iagf',rffv'11fN'-fwfr Quilblflt of 1927 k ' W..........,... q lv 2 I I Q w I 6 Il ANC Ii U RCIIIC STR A CLAXSSICAI, ORCHESTRA I 'Uermunt Qcahemp Pagf seventy-five flllassical QBrcIJestra Hates The Classical Orchestra of 1926-27 at Vermont Academy commenced to rehearse promptly at the beginning of the fall term. There are a good many included in our small symphony, and our number has been steadily increasing and our musical sounds ever growing as we add new members. We have, when the entire group is present, three first and two second violins, two saxophones, two trumpets, two clarinets, two cellos, one piccolo, and last, but by no means least, the drums and everything that goes with them. Louise Chapman is our piano accompanist, and our leader is none other than Miss Tibbetts who has managed to pull us through more than one difficulty. Two nights a week we faithfully go down to music hall to pracrice-and we have a lot of fun too. ' The orchestra made its first appearance in Chapel on Armistice Day, the eleventh of November, when we played several patriotic numbers and received quite an applause. Then, just before our Christmas vacation- the morning of the very day we went home,-we played again in chapel, this time some Christmas songs. After that we took a long rest until March twelth, when we were asked to furnish music for a meeting of the Bellows Falls Chamber of Commerce which was held in our chapel. A week later we once more boldly made our appearance in morning chapel and played old Irish selections on St. Patrick's Day. On March 28, we went to Bellows Falls to play at a banquet given by the members of the Chamber of Commerce at the Windham Hotel. Be- sides our good trip down and back we enjoyed playing very much and earned something for our school. This stepping-out of the orchestra started something new which we certainly hope may continue for the orchestras of future years to whom we wish the very best success. Pane' Jfvfnlv-six wilhrat of -1927 I ' Banca Brchestra jantes Swinging, rythmic, syncopated tunes,-an orchestra holds forth be- tween the reels of the Saturday night movies. Enticing, entrancing, shim- mering tones of beauty pour forth at occasional dances. Why? The Medley Ramblers Orchestra of Vermont Academy is the cause. We organized as soon as school started. The lineup was as follows: The dainty Miss Chapman at the piano, Red Hot Simonds bewailing the fate of a nation on a trumpet, the banjo wielded by Speck Wheeler, the plaintive tones of aviolin were issued forth by the bow of Mr. Currier, a saxophone squealed under the breath of Cyc Hindes, the jolly and ruddy Tom Rood hammered at his drums, and last, but not least, our leader through many a pieceQMiss Tibbetts. Well, after running smoothly for a while the conglomeration decided that more lubrication was needed, and Gunboat Lawrence with his rippling clarinet joined our happy group. A few Weeks before Christmas the visions of Santy and other wild desires behooved us to move foolishly in trying to amuse our friends at Proctor Home by holding a rehearsal there. Not so good-we were stopped until we should present ourselves before the principal, explain, reconsider, and begin to function again. This took place soon after Christ- mas vacation and again we began to sally forth. Our line up, however, was a bit altered. These were the alterations. Stew Carr, ready and willing to do, took Miss Chapman's place, and as no one filled Currier's position, it remained open. History repeats itself, so, we took joe Gomez, the boy from Cuba, in as a sax player, for more oil. It was a wise move and things glided along until about the middle of March. At this time Gordon Damon, the fellow with a banjo, joined our tribe as a sub for Speck. Upon his entrance the bonds of fellowship stretched and we have fairly flown along ever since. We are whole, complete, 'rarin' to go' for the rest of this year and hop- ing to give enough of a push to start the ball rolling for nineteen twenty- eight. S X 0 Q x 1 P4 .sawn HTHLETHI5 'I' E AM FOOTBALL wilhtat of 1927 -I Page ffvfnry-nine' Jfuuthall Captain, ROY E. HARDY Manager, LEE BOWMAN Amt. Jllgr., ALLEN PIERCE Coach, JOHN H. BURKE Coach Burke, in his first year at Vermont Academy, had a very success- ful season. With only five letter men back, prospects forawinning eleven did not look very bright. After a few weeks of practice with careful coach- ing and diligent work on the part of the men, a fairly smooth working ma- chine was soon whipped into shape, but the team was without a leader for a while, as Captain Roy Hardy of Newport, Vt., sustained an injured knee the first night of practice. The first game that Coach Burke's men were scheduled to play was with Norwich University Freshmen. The Cadets arrived in Saxtons River and as the teams lined up it looked as though it might be a disastrous day for the V. A. team. It soon was proved otherwise though, as the smooth working V. A. machine held the Horsemen scoreless and before the last whistle blew the V. A. Wildcats had piled up I9 points on their op- ponents, thus winning their first game. The following Saturday, October 9, the V. A. team packed their mole- skins and traveled to Cushing Academy at Ashburnham, Mass. The strong Cushing team proved to be too much for our men in the first half by scoring IQ points. In the second half the V. A. team made a brilliant attempt at a rally but the Cushing team was too strong for them and the Vermont gridders met their first defeat by the score of 31-7. On October 16, the V. A. team journeyed to Burlington, Vt.,where they met the Vermont University Freshmen. The V. A. team again bowed to defeat, this time the score being 27-O. The Vermont Yearlings were en- tirely out of our class and the fact that Counihan, the guiding hand of the team was taken off the field in the first quarter with a sprained ankle, did not help matters any. The following Tuesday, October 22, the Vermont Wildcats took a trip to Amherst, Mass., and there encountered Mass. Aggie Seconds. In this game the Orange and Black team proved to be in the pink of condition. With Captain Hardy at quarter they defeated the Farmers by a score of I9-o. V. A. journeyed to Hanover, N. H.,to meet the strong Clark School eleven on the thirty-first of October. In the first quarter the big Hano- verians smashed their way through the light V. A. line and after several successive first downs, took the pigskin across the line. In the second and third quarters the Orange and Black held their opponents but did not score. The fourth quarter, both teams started with a rush, both determined to win the game. The V. A. backs broke through the Hanoverian's line several Page eighty T Qluimldf of 1927 times, but were soon checked and lost the ball on downs. The Clark School men, with but three minutes to play, carried the ball over for a second touch- down. With but a short time to play, the V. A. team received the ball and on the first play a Hanoverian intercepted a pass and scored again for his team. The last whistle blew and V. A. was again defeated, this time by a score of 21-0. Home-Coming Day at Vermont Academy saw V. A. trim Keene Nor- mal School I4-I3. W'ith a large number of the Alumni and friends of Ver- mont Academy to watch them, the V.A. team made an excellent showing. The close of the first half found the Vermonters leading I4-6, but a fumble in the second half gave the visitors another touchdown. Then came our last and most important game of the year. On No- vember I3 the V. A. team journeyed to Poultney to play Troy Conference Academy. All records and comparisons seemed to point against our team. We had not defeated T. C. A. since 1907. That year we won by the close score of I0-7. This year the T. C. A. record against Clark School was a shade better than ours. Therefore, all other things being equal, it certainly looked like a T. C. A. day. T. C. A. won the toss and elected to receive. They ran the ball back to their own 40-yard line. On five plays they had earned three first downs. From this time on the sturdy little Orange and Black team found themselves. It was now our ball, first down, ten yards to go. Our first two thrusts at the line netted no gain. Then Counihan engineered an end run, carrying the ball behind the perfect interference of three backs and two guards. It seemed as though the entire V. A. team was in front of him. When he finally did stop running, the ball was planted between the goal posts for the first score of the game. The extra point was booted over from a placement. The wearers of the Orange and Black suddenly became touchdown hungry, and they ate. Several minutes later Captain Hardy heaved a 30-yard pass to McNamara, who gathered it in while under full speed and ran the remaining ten yards for ascore, behind determined interferences of our smashing ends. We had dessert with this touchdown as the extra point sailed squarely between the up-rights. Six- teen men played football for V. A. on this Autumn afternoon at one time or another, and, of the sixteen, thirteen were playing theirlast game, as they were seniors. The game went on, and as the game went on the cohorts of V. A. went with it. Everyone was everywhere. Rather than being at the right place every minute, our boys were at the right place every second. By straight football, play finally reached the T. C. A. ten-yard line and V. A. was on the offensive. Our team came out of the huddle. A brief second of silence and then, before a whirling of human bodies, Skinner cross-bucked his way past that last white strip for the third touchdown. The third extra point was kicked. The first half was over. Score, V. A. 21 T. C. A. 0. In the dressing room, no one told of his deeds. Each and every man vowed to do better. Finally Captain Hardy reluctantly complained of an in- jured leg, this same injury preventing him from starting the second half. The second half found V. A. receiving. By real, hard, old fashioned football 'Uermnnt Qcahzmp Page eighty-one our fullback rang the bell once more and the quarter ended. Captain Hardy resumed play. It continued to be a V. A. day and the last touch- down was earned two minutes before the final whistle. Thus the Wildcats brought to a close the season of I926. To say that any one was the star, would be a discredit to the rest of the Vermont Aca- demy Team. The line held its own and worked in complete unison with the backlielcl. Vermont Academy should be proud, not only of its football team, but proud of the fact that thirteen men will face the world this June who played on this fighting team of 1926. If these thirteen men play the game of life as hard and clean as they played football for dear old V. A. nothing but success awaits them.

FISHER Manager, STANTON WILDER Coach, C. VAN DYKE CONOVER The season of 1926 opened with Coach Conoverls men facing the strong Saxtons River A. A. on Fuller Field. Joe Hardy pitched a very strong game, and with the timely hitting of Evens, DesRoches, Bennet and Lawlor, Vermont won 7-4. On May 1, our boys played T. C. A. away from home and with Hulbert, one of theistrongest pitchers in New England, in the box, won this fracas 5-3. The next game on May 21 was with M. A. C. 2nd year men at Amherst and again, thru the heady work of Hulbert and the hits by Fisher, Hardy and Lawlor, Vermont triumphed 5-2. The next day the team faced a strong Williston outfit which collected I5 runs to our 2. Altho' the score was one sided the game was exciting as our boys filled the bases many times but failed to push over the runs. Colby Academy came down to Saxtons River, May 29, confident of victory but could not fathom Hulbert's delivery. While they were busy trying to get onto his method of pitching, our boys collected 5 runs to their 3. T. C. A. came down on May 31 bent on revenge but was sadly disap- pointed as when this game ended We were on the long end of an 8-5 score. June 2 saw Keene Normal playing on our grounds. This game was an interesting one to watch, especially since the outcome of the game was Vermont 8, Keene Normal 3. The most exciting and interesting game of the year was the Clark School game played here on June 5. Up to the eleventh inning the score was tied 3-3. The visitors on going to bat, this inning, pounded out3 runs before they were retired. Our boys, however, were not discouraged and before the last out was called we had cornered one more run. This was not enough as the score remained 6-4 against us. Page eighty-four ullilulidt of 1927 Summary of the Season V. A.

SHEPARD Coach, JOHN E. BURKE If the number of games won is the measure of success the Vermont Academy team was decidedly unsuccessful this past season. We are told, however, that victories are not the only things in this world to strive for, so, that we may console ourselves with that. The team was not lacking in spirit, coaching, nor student support, for this has been a banner year in whole-hearted student interest in basketball. The team played a decidedly hard schedule, good luck seemed not destined to be their lot, and constant necessary juggling of the lineup proved their undoing. The team got off to a rather inauspicious start on Friday the 7th of January when the Bay Path team from Brattleboro managed to come out on the long end of a 26-29 score. Brattleboro had a big, fast, heavy team and simply beat down their lighter opponents though they played no more skillfully. John Stephens,- playing his initial varsity game, did himself proud with five field baskets to his credit. The following Saturday evening the team traveled through snow and ice to New London, N. H., where they met and defeated the team from Colby Academy. The score was 32-26. The game was close and fast but the taste of the bitter pill of defeat which they had been forced to swallow the week before had not left their mouths and the V. A. quintet came home smiling and with a victory. Then came disaster! The team journey to Williston Academy at Easthampton Mass., where they went down to ignominious defeat by a much superior team. The score was 33-I 1. The following day they fared little better against the Amherst Frosh. The best they could manage was a 34-I5 score. That was soon forgotten, however, and the team solemnly vowed to fight, fight, fight! The spirit was perfect but the flesh was weak. And they lost to the M. A. C. 2-year team on Saturday, January 22, by I6-7. One surely could not have blamed them then had their spirit have broken altogether. But no, they put up a glorious battle against Kimball Union the following week but were forced out the small end of a 34-30 score. But then on Washington's birthday the team took a new lease on life and handed a lovely trouncing to the Colby Academy team, who came down here to celebrate the anniversary of the father of our country. The score was 34-28 but the issue of the game was never in doubt. On Saturday, the 26th of February, our Quintet hopped down to Brat- tleboro in the morning. In the evening they hopped back with a 59-38 defeat tacked on them. On their own floor the heavy Brattleboro team simply ran riot. Then came another defeat by Troy Conference Academy by 29-20. Page eighty-eight wflhldf of 1927 This was followed by the last game of the season which was played at Meriden, N. H., with Kimball Union. The score was 44-I5 with V. A. on the short side. It was too bad that the team didn't fare better for they worked hard and diligently, as did the coach. SEdJO7L,J' Summary V. A.

W'ith but a few exceptions, all the letter men of the year before were back and things looked as though V. A. would have a very successful season. Several meets were arranged for by manager Eldredge, but all had to be cancelled owing to the fact that We did not come under headmasters rules. The 1927 track team like the 1926 team also looks very promising. With Sonsire, Purdy, and Skinner for the Weights and Tom hlackey, Bert Seeley, Jim Lawall, and Walter Rawson out for the dashes and Hindes for the distance. One meet has thus far been arranged with Williston Academy on May 14, 1927. Meets pending are Keene H. S., May 21, and New Hampton Academy, May 28.

About thirty girls reported and in order to give the Varsity and Second Team a better chance for practice the squad was cut in four days to fifteen girls. The Girls, Basketball Schedule opened on Friday, December 3, 1926, at Saxtons River, when tl1e squad showed surprising strength in defeating its ancient rival Troy Conference Academy. The score was 34 to 27, and the .Q if A 1 ft ajft Page ninety-four wilhtdt nf 1928 , e spectators had plenty of excitement. High score honors Went to Betty Howe. Marjorie Morrison and Belle Jackson showed remarkable fighting spirit and team work. Our next game was on January 8, I927, with the Girls of the Rutland Community Club, played at Rutland. The team went onto the floor with their usual fighting spirit. The Rutland Girls were a little too fast and, by the end of the first half they had I8 points piled up to V. A.'s 8. Substi- tutions were made but it was too late for V. A. to redeem herself and the final score stood, 25 to I4 in favor of Rutland. The third game of the schedule was a return game with T. C. A. at Poultney on January I4, I927. With the score I6 to 7 in favor of the opponents at the end of the half, V. A. fought an up-hill battle for the remaining two periods, but when the time-keeper's whistle finally announced the end of the game the scoreboard read 26-26. According to all reports a no more exciting game had been witnessed at Poultney for many years. Betty Howe's accuracy in shooting baskets made the honor of high point scorer fall to her. January 28, 1927, the Vermont Academy gym was the scene of a struggle between the Chester High School and the V. A. team. The fighting spirit and teamwork in this game was exceptionally good. The final score was 39-I7 in favor of V. A. Betty Howe showed her usual skill in making baskets by tossing in I4 of the I8 baskets made from the floor. The V. A. Girls traveled to Chester on February II to play a return game with that High School. This proved to be somewhat closer game than the one played at Saxtons River but at the end, V. A. came out on the right side of a 25 to I7 score. In the absence of Belle Jackson, our regular forward, Margaret Bengor took her place and out-did herself in passing and accuracy in shooting. The team obtained vengeance over the Rutland Community Club Girls at Saxtons River on February I9 by a score of 43 to I9-the largest score of the season. The scoring was evenly divided between Betty Howe and Belle Jackson-the latter tossing in foul shots as if she were bewitched. The game on February IQ officially closed the Basketball season for the girls-a season in which only one game was lost. Coach Reynolds, however, obtained a post schedule game with Keene Normal School at Keene on March I2, when the more experienced Normal School team won by a score of 47 to 20. The spirit of the team was ever the old V. A. spirit but it did not succeed in piling up the score in our favor. Much credit is due to Mr. Reynolds for his untiring efforts in coaching this successful team. Summary of Seaxon Dec. 3 at Saxtons River V. A. 34 T. C. A. 27 Jan. S at Rutland V. A. I4 Rutland 25 Jan.

BURKE At the beginning of the jfear,when one hears the thud-thud of the pig skins, and breathes the crisp, fresh air, Coach Burke mobilized the fellows from the hill and launched into the organization of the Boys' Athletic Association. lt seems he struck while the iron was hot for the idea was re- ceived with great enthusiasm and the boys' share of the student body re- sponded with much gusto. At the first meeting Dr. Cook lauded the plan and gave an inspiring talk on the help of the organization to the spirit of the schoolg then Steiny had a pep meeting and the walls of the gym shook from the vibrations of the cheers. Ollicers were then elected at which time managers for the various teams were also elected and candidates for assistant football managership picked. The first inter-class competition was the fall tennis tournament for the singles and doubles title, which was very keen and exciting. After a series of fast sets the ultimate outcome was in one case a victory for the Seniors, in the person of H. R. Smith, for the singles title, and in the other case a victory by Follett and Carr of the Junior class, who captured the doubles title. X fyijjplflj it Q . li J . . 1 -O C .wF!PFEL9U92? The outcome was strongly contested, it being impossible to pick the winner until the last serve of the last game of the last set. During the fall, intra-mural football was made into an interesting schedule by Coach Burke and the championship team, which was the seniors, were awarded class numerals at the football banquet. There were also competitive sports in the different classes thereby taking in all the boys and having the slogan, HAH out doing somethingf' The afternoons in the winter were kept from being dull by the com- petitive basketball games. These were most exciting and all the teams were perfectly balanced. After some hard playing the ultimate winners of the two leagues were Slippery Rock and Brown. In the big contest for the championship of the school Brown won two out of three games and received the title. The prizes for the winning team are silver basket balls. The Coach expects to hold a similar competition during baseball season. This will no doubt prove as exciting and interesting as the basketball games did. Throughout the seasons there,s no reason for anybody who can't make the regular Varsity teams to lie around and get stiff, and, with this novel system of the Coach's, much unknown ability should appear and many fellows should discover in themselves power and the love of competition.

We started this Fall with nearly one hundred percent membership of the girls in school. The first feature was a tennis tournament, of which Carolyn Whitney was the manager. Marjorie Pratt won first place and Betty Howe second place. We practiced archery somewhat and it is hoped that will be one of the principal features of the Association in years to come. Marjorie Dunning was manager. On Home Coming Day, November 6, a girls' interscholastic track meet was held on Fuller field. The features were: twenty-five, fifty, and seventy- five yard dashes, relay race, high jump,basketball throws. The Juniors scored the largest number of points, Alice Gay was high point girl. This winter, the gymnasium has been the scene of many hard contests of basketball between the various leagues of girls. Doane, of which Florence Sparks is the captain, finally emerged victorious. The prizes are silver basketballs to be given to each member of the team. Those on the winning team were Florence Sparks. Pauline Buxton, Elsie Gardner, Helen Alex- ..wi'mLPf,,1927 ander, Dorothy VVright, Hilda Osgood and Vesta Davis. 'l'he team which took second place in the league was Boston University whose captain was Rhoena Barnes. The members of this team will receive school pennants. A similar baseball league for the spring season is now under headway. 'llhe girls of the G. A. A. showed what they were made of in the Wrinter Carnival too. Betty Howe and Alice Gay were tied for first place, each having won fifteen points lor the Senior and junior teams respectively. A girl who wins one first place, two second places or three third places in any event, who has not already earned a Varsity letter, earns her class numerals. 'llhe girls who have earned numerals so far this year are: Alice Casey, hlaxine hlcClarence, Sally Vllebster, Elizabeth Abernethy, Xlildred Howe, Betty Howe, lflizabeth Nlinard.
