CONTENTS DEDICATION HISTORY POEM EDITORIALS POLL omxos Paaiscopn l fi l IDEDICATICDN ALBERTA L. BEEMAN It is our privilege to honor with this issue of THE BIERCURY a woman well- known and beloved by all in our community-Miss Alberta L. Beeman. As a teacher in the old St. A. H. S. and in B. F. A. she was always faithful and dependable, scholarly, yet full of sympathetic understanding. Since retiring from active teaching, Miss Beeman has exerted her influence in many directions. At present she is a school commissioner, chairman of the Board of Trustees of B. F. A., a trustee of the Stranahan Memorial Fund, and a trustee of Vermont Junior College. Church work and club work also claim her attention. ln 1929, in recog- nition of her accomplishments in educational fields, the degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon her by Middlebury College. YVhatever her interests, she is always helpful and stimulating to those associated with her. Therefore we dedicate this, our Senior Yearbook, to Miss Alberta Beeman-a true teacher, an outstanding citizen, a noble woman. l4l LARRY BUKER NIOR OFFIC 151 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Class Historian Land for sale: Great opportunity! Buy now! Don't wait! Tomorrow may be too late! Apply to Heal Estate Agent. Harry B. Dickinson. This advertisement had evidently aroused great enthusiasm, for on the fourth of September, 1985, a large group of fine looking boys and girls gathered in the B. F. A. gymnasium to secure land from dea.er Dickinson. Each one, being new at the business, was of course a little shy and Ugreenn, as older, more dignified people called us. A large table was in the center of the gymnasium at which several contractors and architects were seated. They outlined a course for us and told us it would take four years for the building of the houses. VVe hired certain teachers in our course and started work immediately on the fifth of September. VVe were assigned the name 'fFresh- menv, the meaning of which we did not un- derstand and did not dare to question those further advanced than wc. On October 3, 1935, our class had its first meeting to elect officers to guide us through the year. The following students were chosen: President-John Corliss Vice-President-Natalie Spear Treasurer-Morton Cushing Secretary-Barbara Raymond The foundations were well started by end of October and we began to feel more at home in our work. The news was noised around that we were supposed to have class colors and dues, so the president. John Corliss, called a meeting on October 22. Navy blue and white were decided upon for the colors and ten cents a semester for our dues, which many of us neglected to pay! On the evening of December 1-14. the sophomore class gave us a reception. Some of the girls wore their first evening dresses and I think most of us experienced our first formal,'. The upper classmen broke down their superiority complexu and allowed us to have a grand time. the i By January our construction was pro- gressing rapidly, but our architects evident- ly thought differently for they gave us cx- aminations called nmid-yearsi' to find out just exactly l1ow much we had learned about the business. This was the first time we had ever experienced anything like them and were quite overwhelmed. In the spring we had to get to work to prepare a skit for the Junior Jamboree, an entertainment put on by the junior class. liach class contributed one skit. A committee was chosen, and under the guidance of Mrs. McGrcggs we put up a fine showing. lVe did not win the prize, but that skit proved to everyone that there was great talent in our group of landowners and that we were doubtless the best class that had ever entered B. I . A. In June our foundations were entirely laid, and we were proud and happy. But again our architects doubted our outstanding ability and examined us to see how well the were laid. These examinations Hfinalsn. Vve were better pre- these and were not quite so foundations were called pared for stunned by them as by the mid-years . passed, but it was all too new to a few who did not quite make the grade and we left them behind us to lay their foundations over again. In September of our second year we began to build the Hrst floors of our houses which were to be magnificent. Our name was changed to Sophomores and, feeling very important. we looked down on the freshmen. VVe decided that we needed officers also in our second year, so on September 22, 1936, the class met and chose the follow- ing officers: Most of us and strange President-Peter Fortuna Vice-President-Betty Larry Treasurer-John Corliss Secretary-Norma Rushford. On September 29, the president called a meeting and reminded us that the sopho- more class had given us a reception and that we likewise should give greetings to the 61 AT THE SECOND SENIOR SLIPPER . THE HEAD TABLE 'Round :md 'round they go Uliuffet style's not so bad! l71 3 new freshman class. But there was one problem that weighed upon us-we had no money! This diflicuity was overcome, how- ever, when the sophomore class created the marvelous idea of the Good Time Mixeru. This proved to be a great success. There was dancing in the gym, a floor show, games and refreshments downstairs. lVe now had plenty of money to give the freshmen the best reception ever held in B. F. A. The gym was cleverly and beautifully decorated. Our class introduced a new feature of the reception by inviting the freshmen to the dining room for re- freshments. Of course there was an un- believable number of freshmen on that night. It was the first time, probably, in the his- tory of the school that seniors wanted to be con-sidered freshmen. On September 29, 1936, a class meet- ing was called, and it was decided to retain navy blue and white as our class colors, al- though this year the dues were increased to twenty cents a semester. In our sophomore year a member of our class, Barbara Noyes, won the first prize for tl1e district in tl1e Edmunds Prize Essay Contest. We again experienced mid-years and finals but they were a mere triviality to us by this time. VVe put on another skit for the Junior Jamboree. Again we did not win, but were exceptionally good. By June, the first floors of our houses were completed. VVe had done fine work but were rather tired and worn out and so were allowed a few weeks for a rest. YVe began work on the second Hoors our third year. That year we were called Jun- iors and were then upper classmen. At the first meeting on September 29, 1937, the following officers were elected: President-Morton Cushing Vice-President-Mary-Rlizabeth Rix- ford Treasurer-John Fletcher Secretary-Natalie Spear During that year Tun Mifzncvay car- off high honors in the annual national school newspaper contest. It was under the guidance of John Corliss as Managing Edi- tor and Charles Preston as Business Man- agerg several other members of our class also held positions on thc staff. As Juniors we had full swing of the Jamboree. Two committees were chosen, a skit committee and a business committee. ried Our class again gave a fine showing with an original skit which won the coveted cup. From the proceeds of the Jamboree the jun- iors gave the seniors a Senior Prom, Ten junior girls participated in the an- nual Junior Prize Speaking Contest under the instruction of Miss Hortense Beeman. At the graduation exercises that year a scholarship to the University of Vermont was presented to Mary-Elizabeth Rixford for a prize story. In June, the second floors of our houses were completed and we were looking for- ward with eagerness to finishing the struc- tures the next year. VVhen we came back to B. F. A. for our fourth and last year we all realized that we had only the roofs and the finishing touches to put on to our houses. At the Hrst meeting of the senior class the following officers were elected: President-John Corliss Vice-President-Betty Larry Secretary-Madine Buker Treasurer-Howard Sweeney Breaking away from the old custom of having the senior play in tl1e spring, our class presented New Fires on December 1 and 2, 1938. The story centered around a novelist who tried to make l1is happy-go- lucky family into an earn-your-living fam- ily. The plan was a great success and one of the most outstanding performances ever presented at Bellows Free Academy. The cast was as follows: Lucinda Andrews, a widow . .. Betty Larry Suzanne Toler, a spinster . . Prudence Lyon Sid Sperry, a fa.rm hand .... George Kell Jerry, his son .......... VValter Lemnah Stephen Santry, an author . .. John Corliss Billy, his son .......... Frederick Potter Phyllis, his daughter Charlotte LaFleur Anne, his wife ......... Rebecca Newton Olive, his daughter ..... Norma Rushford Eve, his daughter-in-law Natalie Spear Dick, his son .......... Raymond Murray Doctor Lynn Grey, a country physician, Jolm Swainbank Mary Marshall, a neighbor, Barbara Dunbar Mrs, Marshall, Mary's mother, Barbara Raymond Aggie Sperry, Sidis wife VVanda Bevins On December the eleventh the senior class gathered for their first builders' ban- quet-called Senior Supper. The host and hostess were John Corliss and Betty Larry. l8l The tables were very eleverly decorated. Four seniors spoke on the subject of Christ- mas-Margaret Hewitt, llarbara Noyes, Morton Cushing, and ltdward Gagnon. 1'laeh member of the faculty and senior elass brought a gift. After these were ex- ehanged and opened they were laid aside to be given to the Salvation Army as a Christ- mas donation. On March 23. the seeond Senior Sup- per was held in the dining room. The host and hostess were Iloward Sweeney and Bia- dine Buker. After the buffet slipper Pru- denee l,yon, Natalie Spear. VValter Lemnah, and John Swainbank delivered very inter- esting and entertaining speeehes. The following seniors were on THE Mrmeem' Staff in their senior year and re- eeived Mereury pins for tlleir work during the year or years that they served: Editor-Mary lilizabeth ltixford Voeation liditor-vPrudenee Lyon Vocation Assistants-Ruth Burnell, Lyle Newton News Hditorffllarlotte Iiallleur Reporter--Phyllis Gould Feature i'lditorANatalie Spear Feature XVriter-John Corliss Copyreaders-Lorraine Guay, Kathe- rine Hall Sports Editors-Madine Buker, Vvalter Lemnah Alumni l3lditorfCarolyn Pattee Rxehange Editor--Charles Preston Periseope llditors-John Swainbank, Betty liarry Business Manager---Morton Cushing Advertising Xlanagerftloward Sween- ey l'ireulation Manager-Barbara Dunbar 'l'ypists---YVanda Bevins. Pauline Plant, Areella Shepard. Robert Lemnah In the four years of high sehool many students took part in many extra eurrieular aetivities. John Corliss represented us in the executive eouneil both in his sophomore and junior years. This year ltebeeea New- ton and Lyle Newton have served as our agents. Many have been star basketball, football, baseball, hoekey. and tennis play- ers. Some have played in the orehestra others have sung in the Glee Club. Some of our senior girls were on the 1939 basket- ball team whieh won State Championship. By May our houses were eompleted and migllty fine ones they were, a shining glory and triumph over all our trials and tribula- tions. lVe papered the walls of eaeh room with peaeeful harmony, eooperation. and friendship. YVQ' deeorated the rooms with prize essays, gold footballs. silver basket- balls, silver eups. and trophies-eaeh one signifying something of ourselves given to dear old B. F.

Now as graduation day draws near we can stand in front of our houses, gaze upon them, and breathe a sigh of satisfac- tion. Theyire our very own. Vile built them. No one ean ever take them away.

Spellrng For The Graduate This June-as in Junes gone by-thousands of young men and women will be stepping out of high schools and colleges all over the country. All will speak the same language, but what a variation in spelling there will be. This question of spelling is one of the most important factors in education today. Because of the immense variation of sounds, English, or more properly, American, is the most difficult of all languages to learn to spell. Whereas the Italian and Spanish children scarcely have to be taught to spell, the American child has to learn to spell each word separately. The practice of learning to spell each word as a separate unit is the basic principle of the Chinese and the Egyptian. This Eastern teaching has long been considered the reason for their inferiority in civilization. Another point worth considering is the amount of money our spelling costs us every year. Did you ever stop to consider what it costs every year to print the eu in are ? VVith the money used in printing these sounds we could improve our country immensely. , But what can be done about it? you may very well ask. I am no great author whose style is followed by thousands. My only writing consists of a few letters to friends and they would probably think me slightly insane. The answer seems to be that if we recognize these absurdities in spelling, we have taken a long step toward their abolition. Once we become rfully conscious of these absurdities, nothing can turn us from the campaign. If enough American citizens become con- verted to this new crusade, their descendants will be spelling sanely in a few gen- erations. This, of course, depends upon proper educational methods. May the graduates of ,239 join this new movement so that the graduates of '69 will not be forced to undergo the spelling lessons which have caused us such torture. Anniversaries Twenty-fifth anniversaries are always marked with much celebration. This year we have not one but two silver anniversaries to celebrate. The first class gift was presented by the seniors' twenty-five years ago. This year also marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the senior play. The first play was presented the second of December, 1913. This year, our seniors gave their play the first and second of December just twenty-five years later. hlay both of these worthy customs be observed by the class of 1989I Appreciation Tim lhlERCl'llY staff wishes to express gratitude to all those people or organiza- tions who have helped in the past year to make our paper a success. Appreciation is extended to the B. F. A. Parent-Teachers Association, which has given pins and a banquet, also to the Messenger Company for its fine cooperation, and to Miss Mr-Kenney for her assistance with the typing.
