      • Date Created: 1959
      • Description: 1959 photo of a ceremony at Battery Park, very likely on Veterans Day. An honor guard stands ready to fire one or more volleys--very likely the customary three--in honor of deceased veterans. (Three volleys from seven rifles does not constitute a 21-gun salute, however.) A number of citizens are present. The veterans memorial in Battery Park is dedicated to the memory of Howard W. Plant, first Burlington casualty of World War I.

                  Image nop
                    • Description: The UVM ROTC Band in front of the Waterman building, with director Dr. Joseph Lechnyr (d. 1959) in the front row, center. Because of World War II, presumably, women were needed to fill positions in the band left vacant by male musicians. The band became known from then on as the "Co-ed Band." A similar photo was published in the 1945 Ariel, the UVM student yearbook, on p. 83. Photo #2.

                    UVM - ROTC Band
                    Image nop
                      • Description: UVM ROTC Band (also known as the "Co-ed Band"), perhaps on the stage of the Southwick Ballroom at UVM. Director Dr. Joseph Lechnyr (d. 1959) is in the front row, center. If this photo dates from 1944, this is probably the first year of the co-ed band. The following years would see many more women than men participating. Photo #1.
