THE MERCURY cagni and Rhoda Fogg. Helen won first place in the district prize speaking contest and third place in the state contest. Her selection was The Pettison Twins at Kindergarten. Rhoda's poem, The Revelation of the Cup won first prize in the U. V. M. lnterschol- astic State Literary Contest. And we must not fail to mention one of our most recent honors won by Elsie Thorpe. She gained first place for girls in this district in the Vermont State Vocal Tournament. Decision was made at a regular class meet- ing to employ lVIiss Eleanor Royce as coach for the Senior play. Her Incubator Hus- bandl' was selected. The cast was as follows: Elaine Ellis ..... ....... K atherine Stone lVIrs. Ellis .. Barbara Shapland Patsy ..... .... I ane Bradley . . . . . Rhoda Fogg . . . . . Anne Austin Mrs. Mudge Mrs. Updyke ..... Mrs. Honeywell .... Helen Calcagni Felix ........... . . . Edward Anderson Roy ............. . . . Frederick Palmer Reverend Hooper . . . . . . Alan Davidson Detective Snyder .............. Ivan Ross Gur class seemed in its efforts to have more than its share of success in most of its under- takings, therefore the Senior play, running The Revelation of the Cup 7 true to form, was equally successful, and dramatic ability is just another laurel for the class of 1935. A fourth milestone is reached and we are at the crossroads. Surely, the knowledge we have gained in our travels, the kindly advice of our teachers, and the friendly association of classmates are an influence powerful enough to direct us on through life's journey. May the spirit of the class of 1935 be ex- pressed as follows: This let us be to the end of the day: As willing to work as welre willing to play, Eager to triumph, but willing to take The blows of the battle for victory's sake. Let us be friendly, let us be fair Asking no more than we're willing to share. Here's how we,d live to the end of the day: Strong for the duties that fall in our wayg Ready to labor, full muscled and fit, But still in good humor to chuckle a bit. Lord, give us courage and pity and mirth And all that is needful to live upon earthg Let us with tolerance honor all creeds, Let us remember that every path leads Somebody homeward to peace and to rest, Grant us the wisdom to live to our best. MARJORIE CULVER, Class Historian. 'I his is the poem which won first place in the U. V. M. Interscholastic State: Literary Contest. I took the cup and held it in my hand, And as I looked into its blood red depths, I dimly heard the solemn music swell, The deaconls voice, the muffled sound of steps On cushioned aisles. And as I looked, I saw Reflected in the crystal and the wine Bright topaz, emerald, crimson, amethyst, Such tints of summer sunset shades that shine Through stained glass panes. And looking saw the court Of Arthur, mighty king, his shining knight Sir Galahad, the Holy Grail-all rose, And gleaming on its shaft of silver light, Such glowing fantasies my mind portrayed Until I heard pronounced in reverent tones, UThis is my blood. And then I saw our lVIaster on the Cross And red blood dripping on a pile of stones. RHODA Fooo '35
