MISS HELEN ADAMS The Class of 1941 takes pleasure in dedicat- ing the senior issue of rllllli BIICRCURY to Miss Helen Adams, who has rendered distinguished service to Bellows Free Academy. A person of unassuming nature, she has given unstintingly of her time to extra-curricular activities and has truly proved her Worth and ability since she joined the faculty in 1932. Her advice and suggestions have helped the members of THE MERLYURY staff to uphold the standards of the paper. ln a literal sense of the Word she is the only faculty member whom the Seniors as a class can call Htheir teacher because it is she who teaches English IV, the only subject taken by every senior. The Class of 1941 desires to express its sincere appre- ciation and gratitude in thus dedicating the senior issue to a teacher Who has been such a devoted and loyal friend. I L 1 IOR OFFIC E CORLISS WOOD E1 SENIUR CLASS HISTORY By JANE CORLISS Class Historian Four years is a long time .... or is it? it seemed forever on that day in the fall of ,37 when we all met in the gym to register. Now that we are seniors and are about to receive diplomas, gifts, and congratulations these same four years seem so very brief. Everything was new and different those first few weeks and there was a great deal going on. The class meetings that were so noisy and novel, the Social Hours on Monday afternoons, the Sophomore Mixer, the football games in the fall and in the winter the basketball matches. The wonderful Reception that the Sophomores gave to us and the many other things that occupied all our spare time. That was the year we elected Donald Wright and Mary Wood to the high positions of president and vice-president. The task of keeping the minutes of the meetings was given to Jane Ferguson and the purse strings were in the capable hands of Homer Burnell. We politely side-stepped for the seniors in the halls and listened to every word they uttered with great attention. The thought of midyears terrified us, but when that fatal week had been lived through we discovered that with a little hard work prac- tically any exam can be laid low. Not being in the habit of play acting we were slightly more scared than the other classes when it came time for the Junior jamboree. VVe started out with the determination to do or die and we did- very nicely, thank youll Freshman year was fun but sophomore year was definitely better. For one thing we were beginning to lose that insignificant feeling. We were no longer the little childrenn. Ted LaPier, lane Corliss, Marjorie Way and Wendell Post were chosen class officers. Instead of the cus- tomary Freshman-Sophomore Reception Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson gave a highly successful one to the entire school. We helped put on the Big B. F. A. Circus and made ourselves felt gen- erally in the glee clubs, the orchestra, on the 'Mercury staff ,and the Athletic teams and as representatives on the Student Council. Betsey Branch won first Dri7e for this district in the Fdmunds Memorial Contest with her essay The Courage of Early Vermont Youthu. Later she received honorable mention in the state contest. More exams, another Jamboree, the various 4 banquets and the social goings-on of graduation week completed our second year in B. F. A. If l could only make this history one third as exciting and interesting and memorable as these last two years have been, I would be com- pletely satisfied. For by this time we had reached a part of our goal. The one we had started out with in the fall of ,37 .... we were Upper- classnienl VVe now had the Jamboree under our direction and we began by replacing the old class skits by one act plays which proved very successful in every way. But .... and here's the sad part .... we didnit win .... the cup! Those awful Sophomores marched off with it without a thought of our injured vanityl It was while we were juniors that the old-fashioned and time- honored tradition of May Day was brought to light and given a fresh meaning in the school through the efforts of Mrs. Robert Bliss, Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Carlson. An election was held and Marjorie Way was chosen to rule as Queen of the May. On the night of her corona- tion the May Pole was wound by girls of the various classes and Marjorie made such a lovely queen that it more than made up for the loss of the Cup. Then came Prize-speaking with Marion Domey winning first prize and the praise of all those present for her hilarious rendition of At the School Exhibition . Ralph LaRock and Jacqueline Nelson placed second and third while several others of the class did excellent work. Be- ing juniors we now had the difficult but honorable task of bidding farewell to the seniors. Under the direction of Paul Lyon, as President of the class, we put on a Green and Gold Prom that really did us justice. Dorothy Seavey was Vice- president during this year. Marion Domey and Kenneth Lemnah held the offices of Secretary and Treasurer. At last the year 1941 has arrived. Things move swiftly. There are class elections with the majority vote for president going to Austin Chaf- fee, Vice-president jane Corliss, Secretary Mary Wood and Treasurer Merrill Lemnah. Elections are followed by tryouts for the Senior Play. The fortunate fifteen begin rehearsals immediately on a three act comedy entitled Shirt Sleeves di- rected by Miss Beeman. The business end of this fine production was handled by Ruth Lemnah J MERCLIRITES COUNCIL OFFICERS SITTING: Hill, K.

After the play comes the first Senior Supper with Austin Chaffee and Jane Corliss acting as host and hostess. Willard Mills as president and Mary Wood as Vice-president head the Stu- dent Council with the aid of Marjorie Way and Wendell Post. Midyears and this time they ARE terrifying because they are so extremely important this time. But before going any further, let us not for- get the long-suffering Mercury Staff and their advisors in the faculty, who have attempted to record all these happenings in our school paper. Ted LaPier deserves much credit for his capable management of the 1940-41 editions. Also this year Ted has operated the movie machine during assembly periods. The Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation gave the staff and their advisors a banquet at which small green and gold pins were awarded to the following people for having served two years on the paper: Jane Corliss, Howard VVright, Ralph LaRock, Helen Newton, Jane Ferguson, Mary VVood, Charles Strait, Con- stance Cleveland, Betsey Branch, Merrill Lem- nah, Estabelle Witepsky, Norma Bevins, Shirley VVaite, Marjorie Lawton, Ruth Lemnah, John Ledoux, Almira Woodman, Kenneth Lemnah, Ted LaPier, Paul Lyon, James Gay, George Costes and Ewing Lape. A second Senior Supper with Mary Wood and Merrill Lemnah offering their hospitality. Jamboree and for the fourth and last time the silver cup has eluded us but again we have com- pensation .... Marion Domey wins second place in the state prize speaking contest! The Good Citizenship Medal is awarded to Mary Wood and Ted LaPier receives the honor for the boys. And now we are at the end. Four perfectly grand years in B. F. A. are behind us. We have acquired a high school education and with our diplomas in our hands we hope to enter either college or the field of business. We realize that the world into which we are about to step is a not altogether happy one, but we are confident that these last four years have given us a sound foundation upon which to start life, and that the fine example set for us by our teachers will enable us to meet this world's problems with courage and resourcefulness.

Throughout our years in high school we too have held this concept, but now, as we are about to reach this desired destination, we suddenly dis- cover that we have not yet left our home port. These years of study have furnished the ma- terials from which we have built our ship, and graduation is merely the launching. Some of us will sail our ships out into life's wide ocean with- out further preparation and it will be in the in- evitable storms of life that we shall know whether we have put our best work into the fashioning of these crafts. Others will go on to larger ship yards, the schools of higher educa- tion, where we shall continue to outfit our ships and make them more truly seaworthy. The ship- yard of B. F. A. has furnished all of us with splendid materials for the construction of our ships, but it was we alone who built the vessels and it is we who, as we sail them forth with proud and steady hand, must pilot them to our chosen ports. We have had the guidance of others thus far in constructing our craft and in charting our course, but now we must slip from this safe har- bor and set our sails alone. Although we look back with regret upon leaving the shipyard, we look forward with the high hope that we may sail into port having passed bravely through what- ever storms we may encounter on our journey across the sea of life. Vermont's Sesquicentenniai This year Vermont is celebrating her one hundred fiftieth birthday as a state. ln 1791 she joined the United States, a government whose ideals and principles influence the world today. Th? Unjffgd States she joined was only a small, I weak government which all the world thought would fail. With it she has increased in wealth and fame and her sons are scattered over the land. Two Vermonters have been president and many have held high positions in government and industry. Her marble and maple sugar are world famous, and her sparkling lakes and green moun- tains make her an ideal vacation spot. Hers is a democratic government Where the people rule and where Town Nleeting Day is still observed. Vermont is not the largest, nor the richest, nor the most thickly populated state. It is not a state of great industries nor large cities. It is a state to which Mr. James P. Taylor wrote a most fit- ting tribute. He expressed the thoughts most Vermonters feel but can not explain. A VERMONTFRS CREED VVe believe in Vermont: in the glory of her mountains and the richness of her valleysg in the beauty and the power of her lakes and streams. We believe in the people of Vermont: in their honor and their vigor, in their passion to begin, their steady resolution to complete large affairs in peace and war. VVe believe in the name Vermont: forever symbol of the hest in fruits of field, and arts of shops and gifts of mine, in men and the deeds men do. VVe pledge that by thought and act We will magnify our State and the life of our people, bind our scattered valleys with easy roads and with inviting paths through mountain fastnessesg put our streams to labor that our sons may work at home, aid nature with such wise skill that far- distant peoples may share her bounties, open with welcoming hospitality the pleasures of our land to all who seek new life in body and mind. VVe pledge that as our fathers won free- dom, so we and our children will win perfect unity for the people of our State, make the com- mon life ever richer in its regards, and render ever large service to the Nation with which Ver- mont has cast her lot. 101 MUSICIANS GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA I 11 1 fa-45.
