B. A. NOTES

During the past week the CONNER
cial geography class has been doing
some very interesting work on Yer
mont. The class was divided into FIVE
sections of three members each, with
the exception of one section which
had only two students. Each section
was given a subject upon which the
three students were TO use the 45-
minute period giving oral themes or
taking up the subject any way they
pleased. The five subjects dealt with
were, "Quarrying in Vermont, "No-
ted Men of Vermont" "Vermont
Farming" Manufacturing in Yer
mont" and History and Government
of Vermont" Three members from
last years commercial geography
class, Leslie Elliott, Theda Dunham
and Louella Barnard, were invited to
attend the series of lectures" and
judge as to which section should be
awarded the prize for having dealt
with the subject the most interesting
ly. The section having the subject,
"Noted Men," was decided upon as
doing the best. This section consis-
ed of Clarence Lang, Perley Drew and
Emile Revoir. The work the past
year has been very interesting as
well as instructive, and we as a class
have put upon these subjects has
been amply repaid by the instruction
