Features of the program wero the spe
cial stunt entitled "As You Wore," put on
during tho intermission, wnuo waiting
for the judges to bring In their derisions,
by the Gold Stripe rlub of the University,
ind the singing of the University eiuartet,
also during the Intermission. This eiuartet,
composed of It. C. M. I'arkor. '20, H. I1.
Sharpies, '21, II, A. Durfeo (M) '20, and
II. F. Martin, '22, wero given some du-
cidedly enthusiastic applause for their
work. Every member of tho Gold Stripe
club which put em the special stunt, saw
scrvlcu overseas. Shermnn's band gave
excellent service in playln for the kakc
walking and during tho Intermission. Fol
lowing the regular program, a danco of
ten numbers was enjoyod.
ONT1 STUDENT INJURED
Thero was ono very regretablo oc
curence during tho program. During
the changing of scenery for tho I'hi
Delta Theta stunt, which won tho first
prize, the men who wero shifting the
piano lost control of it and it fell over
on its side, striking one of the boys, C.
S. Cummlngsj '22, on tho ankle and
hurting him badly. Medical attention
was called and lie was rushed to the
hospital, after his ankle had been given
such treatment as was at hand.
Tho pcorade which opened the big
event was fully up to tho standard of
past years. There were many amusing
costumes and novel effects, such as a
racing buggy, with full equipment, in
cluding tho horse, the Uurllngton
street department, the various nations
of the globe, presidential candidate, a
humorous costumo effect of a very tall
girl and her sister, and others equally
appealing.
THE STUNTS
Tho first stunt "Joshua Jessup's Son
Jeremy" which was presented by Lambda
lota represented a New England "Huskin
Bee," and was an instant hit, duo to the
original manner in which it was given.
Tho light slowly dawned upon the scene
with tho singing of "Harvest Moon,"
made more realistic by a moon hung at
some distance from the scene. This was
followed by a clever dialogue and a note
worthy rendition of a Vermont parody
by the rural eiulntctto led by Jeremy. The
square danco was not forgotten and tho
stunt was brought to a close with an ex
cellent inortuctlon of "The Hoston Fancy."
"HOW DOES THAT STIIIKE STH1KU
YOU?"
Tho nox'. stunt, put on by Delta Mu
was jtrtctly up to date. Tho scene opened
with a Lolsheviot meeting. A Bolshevik
slued at tlm opening of a mine telling
the lu-scmoh'd miners of the linn thing
ho had In Hussi and comparing it to tho
squalid condition,) n America. Then tho
scoiio shifted to tho council room of one
of the draat labor unions. Hero Mr.
Oompira and his co-workera discussed
tho political situation and especially In
Burlington, Vermont. Tho meeting seemed
to be entirely In favor of a city council
composed of unlvoislty piofustois both,
jxjpular and unpopular, Again the scene
shiftml to tho home of a miner wheru tho
family was Khown waiting to receive tho
representative of- tho president who wan
to bring tho response) to tho latest demand
of the union.
"10(1 VKll CtlNT WHAT?"
Tho third stur.t wan that of tho I'hi
Delta Theta fraternity, entitled "1(f) l'er
Cent What?" Tho llghtB disclosed a farm
yard scene, with three small haycocks
and a large haystack. A father and his
sou who hud just returned from tho war
wera united again, cafo and well.
Although the son was overjoyed to bo
back home, ho htm heard the call of the
bright lights of the city, und plans to
return to them instead of staying on tho
farm with the dad. Upon the persuasions
of tho old man to think things over, ho
lies down to sleep near ono of Din huy
cocks. The noxt scene displays a rapid
change In tho appcaranco of the barn
yard. It has become a cabaret. The
stack Is ninv a stage on which dancing
girls entertain tho loungers. Tho hay
cocks huvo become tables among which
nrn tho plettsuro seekers, including tho
young dreamer, himself. Two friendly
girls ronvnrso with him for a while, and
then luuvo him. When called upon to
pay his cheek, ho finds himself penniless.
Just as ho is ubout to bo forcibly thrown
out, his sweetheart appears from a largo
chair on tho stage. Ho wnkes up, tho
rceno returns to the farmyard, whero his
father and sweetheart aro lit person. Tho
boy decides to stay on the. farm and be
1QQ per ccnt.Aiaetlcaii.
WHAT'S NEXT
Following e anio tho Alpha Tan Omcgn
stunt, "What Vexf" This sliint showed
tho Vermont Mate- Senate as It. In to-day,
nnd no It in to be lu Iho future Tlm
stunt opens tilth two old farmers talk
ing p&llllr. Near them Is n reprenonta'
tlon o the world upon which Is scaled
Father Time. He shows to the men the
Senate of to-day, having endless debate
on tho bounty for blnrl; hoar. He then
discloses tho Senate of the future. This
includes several ladles, and none other
than Miss Berths Terrill In tho president
of Iho legislative body.
Tho Honnto discusses matters nticli
n would Interest any body of women,
and finally drinks a health to the nows
that Ireland ban been granted Ittt free
dom. Lostly. the scene, reverts to tho
two old men, discussing politics, but
ono gets excited and vows alleglanco
to Calvin Coolldge, the son of Vermont,
who 1h running for Iho presidency.
Father time onlrrt the conversation
with the assertion that Vermont, has
always turned out good men. national
levaders, and must hold tho proud place
won in the past.
SILVKESPEAItE'S "FOIt A' THAT"
ICappa Klgma's itunt wan a curious
mixture of tho Shakesperlan characters
and inodorn llfo and conditions. In il
watt found tho famous Julius Caesar,
Mark Anthony and Cleoparta, with
their band of guards nnd rutalnon.
transported to modern times. Caesar,
who was the principal character vn
found drunk, and Shy lock w.-is the,
scoundrel who supplied the liquor to
tho band of ancients Ko- wau able to
do this by tho tmo of hi3 "blind tiger.'
Ono of tho features of this ptttnt was a
dance by tho nhlmmy slEtoru. Con
sidering tlio character of tho players a
duel iv,i3 entirely In order und Bill
Shakcspearo and Julius Caosar pro
vided this. Tho stunt was full of con
Mirsation and some very good acting.
"A SHADY CONVOCATION"
Phi Mil Delta appeared with a plan
tation sketch which was divided into
three ccer.i'S. First was showu a scuno
Ir. tlio cotton field Kvrrnl negroes
wero cultlvat!"a the cit'on. Two of
thorn i;ot into an argu'iner-t. and tho na
tional weapon was drawn. Next came
a tiogto Suniley school In which the
preacher exhorted bis audlenco ti give
up their wicked waya and join tho
HO-."vlrn of th.- Lord. Tho stunt closed
with a iicetic on th. plantation where
(luietrii'ss and pcaro rolgnil supreme.
"AIHY-EOMA"
I'ortrayeti by the Sigma Nu fraternity
was the old new WcBt with a sugges
tion of tho University of Vermont. The
ncntin was laid in a western bar room
which by tlio diet of July first, hail
been converted Into a soft drink place.
Tho usual crowd of gamblers, dancing
girls and drinkers were present. A cow
boy quartettn t-ang sevoral parodies
pertaining to Vermont and family
scenes. Professor Flunkem of tho
University and an Englishman wero
tho prlnrlpal characters 11 was just
such a. scene which may be found in
any of Zane Grey's books.
"THOU SHALT NOT."
Tho Delta Tsl's stunt. "Thou Shall Not"
was distinctly different from tho one
preceding It traced the history of tho
execution of tho command "Thou Shalt
Not" from the. earliest to tho latest peri
ods of human life. Tho lights disclosed an
ancient seer, swaying In his seat In front
of the mystic lamp which showed tho
history of tho ages. The story of reform,
from Adam and Eve to the present time,
was told. Adam and Eve were first driven
from Uielr garden. Later, King Georgo
III aimed to impose his will on the Amer
ican colonics, but falling, his power was
strippd from him. Tho same spirit caused
tho freeing of the slaves, and Lincoln was
shown with the grateful freedman
crouching at his feet. Kaiser Wllhelm's
lust for power was put to nought when
tho command was given to him. Next tho
seer spoko of John Barleycorn's down
fall. With tho shifting of light, a bar
room was shown, with several mourner's
of tho deceased John Barleycorn. When
driven out at ten o'clock, they formed a
funeral cortege. This was the latest re
form brought about by tho command
"Thou Shalt Not."
"TONSOIUALITIS"
With the nixt f-tunt, the scene reverted
to that of every-day life, and Ton
sorialltls, given by the Sigma I'hi frater
nity, was shown. As the name implied,
It was a barber shop scene, with all tho
modern appliances of the barber shop.
The barbers were talkative, and much gos
sip was bi ought out by their continual
questions and opinions. In ono corner
was a large, husky-looking manicurist,
who idled her traao infrequently because
of the high prices, but acted as a cashier
and advertisement. A co-ed from tho
university arrived, bearing the express
permission of Mrs. Stetson to have her
hair bobbed. The barber did this In
masterly fashion, leaving here a per
fect picture of the "athletic girl." One
of the most interesting customers was
Jean Baptlste of Isle La Motte, who told
or his experiences through the stormy
winter. Whilo a noisy little girl was
getting her hair cut "like a boy's" and
Jean was recounting his diflicultles, tlio
crowd rushed out hastily at the sound of
the tire alarm,
THE D. T.'S
The last sunt was ono of tho old-time
medic stunts which were so common at
tho Kako AValk a few years ago. It was
given by I'hi Chi. There was, however,
an entirely now ending. Taking for tho
subject a bad caso of Delirium Tremens,
they showed a patient suffering from tho
disease and attended by several doctors.
When the doctors had left the nurse went
to sleep and waking, found her pattont
gone. Ho iu tho meantime had gone up
to the beams of the gym and from thero
made a dlvo Into a net stretched a few
fn.t tiom tho Iloor. Ho was caught hut
e . ..p.il again anil repeated his stunt.
Tl time doctors placed him in a
straight Jacket where they would )r Buro
to know ho would stay.
"AS YOU WEKE"
During tho lull between the xtunts and
tho awarding of tho prizes tho Gold
Ktripo club of tho Unlvetslty staged a bit
of war showing especially the llfo of tho
doughboy in France. Tho Hi st scene
shows tho doughboys sitting beside tho
road resting a little on the inarch. Soon
thoy aro obliged to seek cover at the ap
proach of a Zcppolln. Next the notion
shifted to a French cafo where they aro
seep sitting around a table ordering up
the drinks from a real J'rench garcon
A wounded Fronch soldier added much
action and a good share of tlm -humor
to this stunt.
THE -KAKE WALKING
(lenient '21 and Shaw '20 of the Owb
nro tho prize winners in the eako walk
ilig. Thoy were dressed In elaborate,
costumes und did some clever Jumping
stunts. Hnlgh '21 and Austin ! of

mention. They wro dressed very
elaborately in green and brown suits,
tho "ladv" wearing a gown covered
with spangles. "Sho" did some clovor
anting sitting In mo miuuio and flirt
Intr with tho audionco whllo her part
tier danced around. At Iho end of tholr
danco tho man pulled out a Vormont
banner from bin parinet-H back hold
ing it out while they cako.walkrd to

'21 of Alpha Tau Omega began their
danco with n novelty, the "girl" doing
a "split" an tho danco started. "Sho"
wnro a whlto costumo with a flowered
border Lamson '20 and Lamb '20 of Phi

tumes. They did somo hand springs.
Tylor '20 and Bartlott. '21 or Sigma
Nil wero very swell, th "lady" wear
ing an orange rostnme and somo ma
lino nbout her shoulders. They did
somo clever steps. Sawyrr '20 and
Cleaves '21 of Delta 1'sl Introduced
some very difficult oteps. Their danc
ing had mnny dips and side steps.
I'ciiic '21 and Clifford '2.1 of Sigma
I'lil were still different, tho man kick
ing a hat that was held nn high as lila
head by his parlnor, all tho' way down
tho gym. O'Connor and Grasso of I'hi
Chi, both pro-mcdlcn, also woro somo
gorgeous costumes. They lntroduco1 a

Thero seemed to bo more stunts pull

that they certainly could handle their

registration of voters, It perhaps was no
heavier than the ordinary.

CITY VOTES TO GIVE
TEACHERS MORE PAY
Nearly . Thousand Majority for
Bie; Issue of Municipnl Elec
tion Four Republican and
Two Democratic Aldermen
Elected
Burlington voted by large majorities for
tho 13 por cont Increofo In taxation for
tho purpose of raising teachers' salaries,
for medical Inspection of scholos, and for
llconso, both druggists and the other
kind, Tuesday at tho city election when
six nldormen, two school commissioners
and ward olTlcem wero elected. The vote
was light us thero was no mnyoralty
contest and In two of the wards no con
test of any kind. In tho other wards thero
wero hot flghls, however, and tho results
wore close. '
Tlio nldermon clocted aro: Georgo D.
McBrldo In tho first ward, F. A. Deyette
In tho second, Dr. J. E, LaTlocquo In tho
third, Edward II. McGrntli in the fourth,
E. O. Mltlguy In tho llfth and William II
Wilson In tho sixth.
Tho chief political Interest of tho day
centered around tho nldermnnlc contests
In the serond, third, tlfth and sixth wardu.
In tho second Deyette created a surprise
by winning over E. A. Luck, a former
alderman, by a majority of 5.1. Luck ran
on tho citizens' nnd democratic tickets
and Doyetto as a Independent republican.
Both sides wero very active and many
looked for Luck's election, because ho
had been endorsed by the democrats and
had a largo following In the. Republican
party.
In the tlfth ward Mr. Mltlguy was
eloctcd alderman In n republican strong
hold Tiy a maJorHy of ton over F. A.
Rousseau, his republican oppomfnt. In the
sixth J. W. O'Neil was defeated by Mr.
Wilson by only nine votes. Tlio tight hero
and In tho fifth was the closest. Dr. J. E.
Laltorquc, republican, won out over Jules
Slmays, democrat, by a margin of 2 votes
In tho third ward.
Tho board now makes up about aa it
did before and tho wise politicians are
of tho opinion that tho voto will stand
seven to five as It did all last year on
many Issues. Messrs. Deyctto and Mc
Brldo return for another term. Dr.
LaRocque replaces Alderman Besottr,
who has been absent from meetings for
nearly a year. Mr. Mltlguy succeeds
Alderman Ladd and Mr. Wilson lakes tho
place of Alderman Hall.
F. E. Kimball and J. P. Murphy were
re-elected school commissioners without
any contest In their respective wards and
tho make-up of tho school board remains
the samo.
The voto for increase In pay to tho teach
ers was a sensation, the majority being
nearly a thousand in favor of It. All
wards In tho city voted heavily for the
movement, except tho third and fourth
wards, where thero wero small majorities
against It. Tho total vote wua 1,975 for
and 9S7 against.
The license vote was of no use so far
as saloons go, but nevertheless the city
voted heavily for llconso, considering the
number of votes cast. The license voto
carried every ward In the city
except tho first. Tho voto was 1.5S8
for and 1,139 against. Druggists' licenses
were still moro popular and the final voto
on this lssuo was two to one, being 1,61.3
to 869. Thero was no question about the
rlty's being In favor of medical Inspec
tion In schools, the voto being 2,211 to C31.
