B DICKINSON VVe can truthfully say that Mr. Dickinson has had marked influence on the young people of Franklin County who for years have come under his guidance in the old St. A. H. S. and now in our own Bellows Free Academy. VVe have found a friend, a counselor and a teacher combined in one person. Dick is that person. For the last twenty-four years, his life has been concerned with the men and Women of to- morrow who have been better prepared for life by the ideals that he has taught them. He has made the years in high school vivid recollections to those who have graduated and himself, a living example. We therefore, dedicate this senior issue of THE lVlERCl'RY to Harry Brockway Dickinson whose life, character, and interest in school activ- ities have made lasting impressions upon our hearts and minds. O LISS SUNDERLAND LITTLE B NIOR OFFICE ISI Y T , CLASS POEM voners Oh listen carefully and long, Those voices far away! Whose can they be so strong and sweet? What is it that they say? It's hard to tellg the days are long Since I have heard such mirth. The sound grows loudg its echoes rise And stretch around the earth Until at last I understand. Those voices I know now Are those of youth whose carefree tongues Drown out the jingling bell- The bell that sets them free at last To leave the final class. The day is done, the shadows fall, Tomorrow they will pass VVith quickened step and thoughtful eye Out through the open door, VVhere high school friends of four short years Must part forever more. With fun and youthful joy they have gone Through life's most carefree stage. Beyond, the happy voices blend With those of strife and age. And all too soon the passing years Bring lean and troubled cares, When high school days are memories Of freedom that was theirs. lNIarjorie Little I37 Class Poet.

With your kind permis- sion, I, as class historian, shall review the play called The Class of I937,'l in absolutely unbiased manner. This is a play in four acts, with three all too brief intermissions. Throughout the action, there is very incidental music by the high school orchestra. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts, under the able direction of Mr. Dickinson, the principal, and a band of capable assistants, the faculty. lt is produced by the board of trustees with the cooperation of the taxpayers and is given by an all-star cast. Act I shows the arrival of the class in the gymnasium. Their timidity and curious mistakes furnish some bright comedy moments. There is rapidly rising action and the villain gradually puts in an appearance. He is called Study and is of alarming size and proportions. It is evident that he will interfere sadly with the enjoyment and leisure of the actors, now known as freshmen. As leaders of the group, the following ofhcers were chosen: President, Gordon Dewartq Vice- President, Dorothy Sunderland, Secretary, Rita Corrigan, Treasurer, John McKay. The most important and well-remembered scene of the social life of the act was the gay time enjoyed by the class at the Freshman-Sophomore Reception, which occurred sometime in the stormy month of December. The outstanding feature of the event was the lowering of a string of balloons from the ceiling, which, together with a large snowball, dropped into the center of the room. The efforts of the sophomores were well re- warded. At the close of the act, tragedy seems immi- nent, as there is a desperate affair-a mental crisis created by Study's brother villain, Examinations. But the freshmen, by one last spurt of their tired brains, win. Somberness does not predominate in this act, as there are athletic and social activ- ities. which among other events include the first Junior Jamboree. The freshmen contributed an entertaining skit, Family Album, but failed to win the silver cup which was awarded to the junior class. . After an intermission of eight weeks, during which the actors go away on vacations or stay at home and help with the work, the play is re- sumed. Act Il shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as sophomores, owing to an advance in rank. The leaders elected for the group were: President, John lNfcKayg Vice-President, Sylvia Fortong Secretary, bfaxine Sears, Treasurer, Edward Corliss. A touch of pathos is found in the absence of several of the cast who were so disabled in the encounter with Study's ally, Examinations, that they were unable to appear in the second act. lnterwoven in the many scenes were such events as a reception given in turn by the sopho- more class on December 18. Gay trimmings of purple and gold ribbons formed a canopy Linder which the couples kept time to the music. This affair was well planned and ably conducted by the sophomores, who were proud of the duty that was theirs. The action continues to rise till the end of the act, when we again have the inevitable struggle and the crisis brought about by Examinations. Again, after a bitter exchange of hostilities, the class wins, thanks to the time spent in preparation. After another eight weeks' intermission, the curtain rises on Act HI. Scene and characters are the same, which may make the play sound monotonous to you, but I assure you it is not. The actors are so changed that each act seems like an entirely new play. They are now called juniors. Those playing the leading parts in this act were: President, Edward Corlissg Vice-Presi- dent, Elizabeth Anderson, Secretary, Helen Cul- verg Treasurer, Malcolm Brown. As in the scenes of the first two acts, the Junior Jamboree holds much of the attention and plays an exciting part. Since this is a junior activ- ity, we find our actors more keenly interested in the plans than in the two preceding years. The third stunt-night appeared to be much like its predecessors only in that the stunts of the differ- ent classes seemed to be improving. The class of IQ37 gave an exciting comedy entitled Co-eds and Chemistryf' The returns were sufficient for l6l SNAPPED QUITEBY CHANCE I I financing the most important event of the year, the Junior Prom, which took place on June 5. Leaving this gay setting in the center of the stage, we see at a glance, a very busy and business- like setting at the left wing, namely the Mercury staff, who portray excellent parts in the perform- ance. The group consists of: Ralph Guyette, as Associate Literary Editor, Gordon Dewart as Associate Managing Editor, Virginia Purrier, as Exchange Editor, Edward Corliss as Assistant Advertising Manager, and Sylvia Harris as As- sistant Circulation Manager. The outstanding individual distinction to come to our class during this act was the winning of a S150 scholarship at the University of Vermont for his prize essay YVe VVho Would Diet by Gordon Dewart. The most exciting scene of the third act oc- curs When the Annual Junior Prize Speaking is held. Congratulations were warmly given Eileen Rooney for winning the Hrst prize, to Virginia Fisher for the second prize, and Foster Corliss for third prize. Before the curtain falls, there is a dreaded but certain confiict. Study's emissary, Examina- tions, is defeated again, but this time more dras- tically than ever before, perhaps because those who fell by the way before were less vigorous fighters, and still more probably because the sur- vivors profited by their sad fate. Again an intermission of eight weeks, then Act IV arrives at last and is warmly received. By this time, the actors are so matured, so at ease, so changed for the better that they are diffi- cult to recognize. We seem to View with rose- colored spectacles that scene that so soon will vanish. lt looks very attractive with the follow- ing leaders at the head: President, Edward Cor- liss, Vice-President, Dorothy Sunderland, Secre- tary, Nlarjorie Little, Treasurer, George Bryce. The action is more rapid and more com- plicated than in preceding acts. There is more comedy than before and there are several im- portant scenes and interpolations. Scene I shows the election to executive posi- tions on the Student Council-Edwin Simpson, President, Rita Corrigan, Vice-President, and George Bryce, Secretary and Treasurer. Repre- sentatives to the Executive Council from the sen- ior class were Wayne Richardson and Marjorie Little. One of the most exciting scenes of Act IV was held on December 10. Laying aside the duties as seniors and students for one brief eve- ning, the class held its first senior supper in a room attractively trimmed with Christmas decorations. The president and vice-president of the class acted as host and hostess at this supper. The guest speaker was Miss Alberta Beeman. Edwin Simp- son and Rita Corrigan gave talks suitable to the occasion. A Christmas tree, which included small gifts, was enjoyed, after which games were played. Hard work and success were shown in April when the class carried off the cup from the fourth annual Junior Jamboree. The skit presented was Remembered Yesterdays. A new Mercury staff was announced during the latter part of Act III for its work in Act IV. The leading positions fell to: Gordon Dewart, Managing Editor, Marjorie Little, Editor, Vir- ginia Purrier, Feature Editor, Sylvia Harris, News Editor, Rita Corrigan and Jean Dewart, Reporters, Dorothy Sunderland, Sports Editor, Virginia Fisher, Alumni Editor, Edward Corliss, Business Manager, Edwin Simpson, Circulation Manager. The actors who showed promise of being stars in the preceding act have fulfilled that prom- ise and shine brightly, in the cast of Guess gain, our Senior Play which was presented May 6 and 7. The cast was as follows: Waldo, Wil- liam Ciofii, Bertie, James Fortuna, Janet, Eileen King, Bill, Gilman Rood, Dora Mae, Rita Cor- rigan, Mrs. Skinner, Dorothy Sunderland, Lord VViggleton, Frederick Hodge, Olive Ordway, Virginia Purrier, Lulu Perkins, Sylvia Harris, Sol Messer, Lester Luman, Mr. Grimes, Harold Best, Marcella Jenks, Eleanor Schofield, Renee Lamour, Aldine MacArthur, Mr. Pratt, John lNIacDonald. Virginia Fisher won third prize in the Speak- ing Contest held at the Cathedral High School, for reciting The Day of Judgmentfl At last the fatal hour arrives, and the Final Examination raises his sinister head. The efforts of several of the seniors in the last of Act IV were well rewarded when they were declared exempt from Final Examinations. The attack of the other seniors is brave and well organized The result of concentration is apparent. To a man-and a woman-the seniors now emerge vic- torious. They have finished Study. And then the sym- bolic touch, without which no play worthy the name is complete-the ironic twist of the new school dramatists: Study, met face to face, is found to be, not an enemy, but a friend, and an invaluable ally to possess throughout life. The strenuous preparation for battle, which made our cast more and more familiar with study, was a blessing in disguise and everybody is happy. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music, and congratulations-in short, graduation exercises, and We have the well-known and ever popular, happy ending.

They seem almost too short to have given us time to learn any of the subjects and perhaps master. But all cases, more than what books. VVhat we should of ourselves and find out gained in all. we came here to study, we have learned and, in we have studied in text do now is to take stock exactly what we have we entered B. F. A. as Wildered and timid. lt was not long before we learned that all the older folks were not wild lndians intent on massacring us but really friendly people, ready at a moment's notice to leave their own duties and lead us puzzled freshmen to a lost room. Joined in in- terest, object and purpose we realized very quickly the first of all great lessons, friendship. We learned to be cordial and to treat other people as we had been treated. First of all when freshmen, we were be ln constant contact with the people around us We found out that we must be courteous. If we did not act toward other people as they had toward us but offended them, they would lose their respect for us and it would not be long be- fore they would positively ignore us. Courtesy calls for courtesy, and no one can afford to live without it. Respect for proper authority and rights came upon us quickly and now we know how to get along without the wild reckless freedom of those who can not obey the rules necessary for civil life. Few schools are ever maintained that do not give their students a chance to participate in athletics, music, and many other school activities. livery one of these activities has given us oppor- tunity to be a good player, a good loser or a good winner. lve have achieved leadership and learned to bear it with modesty. Never has any high school student been able to be haughty in his glory without losing his honor, because others can not stand his pride, and it is invariably their support that keeps him on the top pedestal. After attaining friendliness, courtesy, ever valuable truth, and faith in one another, We came to that great step that led us to the social side of l 12 school life. VVith all the lessons We have already learned, it is not hard to get together and have a good time with no signs of hesitation from former- ly shy and self-conscious people. We have come to the greatest and ever afterwards best re- membered gathering of all-Graduation! May we never forget the lessons that led us to it. Dresses Among the many activities of the school held every year is the dress contest entered by the Home liconomics classes. Some of the loveliest dresses ever made by the girls are made for this contest. No doubt it is the factor of competition that has induced them to use their greatest skill and precision from the choosing of the patterns to the sewing on of the last snap. Contests bring forth the best anyone has got, show him what he can do if he Wants to and lead him on to greater achievement. Enter a contest to test your skill. You will never regret it. Appreciation The Mercury staff wishes to thank all those people or organizations who helped to make this past year a success. VVe particularly wish to thank the Messenger Company for the cooperation it has given. Also we have appreciated the excel- lent work and cooperation of Miss Davidson, the typists, Sylvia Gould and Phyllis Chevalierg and lfdward Anderson for the time and Work he has put into making the Mercury a success. l IVIERCLIRITES ffff COUNCIL OFFICERS FRONT ROW: J.
