THE MERCURY Senior apartment CLASS POEM VVe have climbed to the top of the mountain Now worn and rugged with time That loomed soifar up above us, When first we attempted the climb. And as weglance back down the hillside Far down to the depths of the vale, We notice a throng of successors Who follow our well-blazed trail, When yet the ascent was before us Life appeared narrow and small, For what we could see from the lowlands Was little or nothing at all. But now it seems to be calling- Life in its wondrous ,arrayg Now we're prepared to attain it On this transitional day. And with us we find a great meeting Of friends from all over the land, Who are bidding farewell to their classmates With a last, sincere grasp of the hand. Our journey together is ended, For the trails that we choose to pursue Will scatter us over the country And maybe across the sea, too.

THE MERCURY 5 Once more we are all here assembled As the class of the year '34, And the memory of this our commencement Will live in our hearts evermore. MIRIAM Wise Class Poet SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Friends and members of the class of 1934, we are entering another harbor in our journey of life. Time is fleeting. It is probable that to most of us the day we entered first grade is fresh in our memories. The tide of time carried us swiftly through those eight years which followed and brought us safely into the port of the eighth grade graduation, from which we launched forth, four years ago, on the trip through high school. It would be impossible to touch upon the joys and sorrows of each one personally, but let us review some of the outstanding events of those four years. On September 9, 1930, we set sail. For the first few weeks we were tossed and jostled about. Then some kindly senior came to our rescue and suggested that we elect officers to man our ship. We considered carefully and chose the following, who steered us safely through the first year: Richard Raymond .......... President llluriel Palmer ........ Vice-President Madelyn Collins . . . ..... Secretary Robert Trombley .......... Treasurer Although we were only freshmen the upper classmen had to admit we had talent in our class, for when the Cast was announced for the Girls' Glee Club play, College Days the following were chosen from our class- Mabel Start, Rachel Cole, and Leila Ginett. Again in May of the same year, Robert Trom- bley, Winston Bevins, and Jack VVhite took part in Hearts and Blossoms given by the Boys' Glee Club. When the sophomores tendered our class a reception in February, it was the first one to be held in the new gymnasium. Something about the word receptions seems to abash the freshmen, and they never attend them well. Such was the case with us. Following this reception the days passed swiftly along with the usual ups and downs. We Houndered through two sets of examina- tions and with sighs of relief were content to spend our summer in as carefree a manner as possible. We lifted the anchor again in the fall of 1931 with the following staff to conduct our ship: - ' Robert Trombley . . . ..... President Mabel Start ...... . . . Muriel Palmer . . . . . . . . Vice-President Secretary Alan Sweeny ............. Treasurer We were sophomores, but we did try very hard to remember to speak to the freshmen and encourage them, for but one short year ago we had been in their places and knew what it meant to have someone take a little interest. During this year the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs decided to combine in presenting an operetta, and a very successful one was pro- duced in Pickles . Those from our class taking leading parts were Robert Trombley and James Cioffi. Many others sang in the chorus. It was now our duty to give the freshmen a reception, and after some effort we staged a very colorful one in our school gymnasium. As sophomores we were just getting accus- tomed to the order of social affairs and school events. In our junior year we became more accustomed to attending to these duties. We
