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.

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.
