early hour. This year the junior class gained recognition for its tireless efforts by being award- ed the cup for the skit which was named Chl Justice. The Junior-Senior Prom was held Friday, June 7. Cooperation on the part of the students made it possible for us to give the seniors a bril- liant farewell. Thus we ended our third year in high school and prepared for the most important year of our school career-our senior year. Most of us would like to be back there once more as carefree juniors who did not think much about graduating for the time being. The following were the class officers chosen to undertake the responsibilities of the senior class on the last lap of its journey toward gradu- ation: Donald Trombley . . . ..... President Margaret Williams .... . . . Vice-President Janice Spear ........ ..... S ecretary Lawrence Simpson ............... Treasurer This year the leading positions of the Mer- cury staff fell to the seniors. The following sen- iors helped to make this paper a great success: Doris Hunt ..... ................... E ditor Philip David .............. Managing Editor Ralph Guyette ..... Associate Literary Editor Vvilma Wells ................ Alumni Editor . . . Athletics Editor . . . . . .

Advertising Manager Alice Vail ....... . . . Circulation Manager Margaret Lewis ..... Feature Writer Ruth Arkinson ...... News Editor Beatrice McLaughlin .............. Reporter Our first senior supper was held December the twelfth. Christmas decorations were cleverly carried out by the decoration committee. A large Christmas tree was placed in the corner of the room and small gifts were brought by each mem- ber of the ,class ,to be placed on it. Later these gifts were distributed and opened: then, in true Christmas spirit, the gifts were collected and given to the Salvation Army. The President and Vice-President of the class acted as host and hostess at this supper. A glee club was formed this year and many members of our class became prominent members. Richard Brush was chosen President of this or- ganization for the year. Both the glee club and school orchestra ably represented the school at the annual music festival in Burlington. l A novel affair was presented in the form of a f'Leap Year Dance on February 22. This dance was sponsored by the Student Council of B. F. A. Norbert Blanchette, President of the Student Council, chose two senior girls, Alice Vail and Charlene Royce, and two junior girls to act as the committee taking charge of this dance. lt proved to be a success and brought satisfactory proceeds to the Student Council. The senior part in the Junior Jamboree, held April 20, was a skit entitled HBelieve It or Not. Again the class of ,36 established two records by winning the cup presented for the best skit. Our record the junior class had held cup the first two years, and also record of being the first class to class broke the by winning the established the win the cup for two successive years. April 30, our second annual senior supper was held, with Lawrence Simpson and Janice Spear, class treasurer and secretary, acting as host and hostess. Different members of the class gave short talks on activities of the school and afterwards games were enjoyed by those present. Distinction was given our class when Alice Vail was chosen to represent the State for the D. A. R. Pilgrimage to Washington in April. She was chosen from a list of twenty-seven senior girls of different schools. Upon the resignation of our class President. Donald Trombley, we chose Richard Brush to act as president for the remainder of the year. The senior play, Three Cornered Moon , was presented May 21 and 22 by the following members: . . .

Now our high school days are ending, but we realize that our opportunities for service to mankind are just beginning: 'fSo long as we shall be on earth There will be tasks for us to do, Some way for us to show our worth, Each day shall bring its problems new. And we shall dream of mightier deeds Than ever have been done before: There always will be human needs For us to work and struggle for. 6l L L-- L 1
