An unusual arrangement of colored lights was employed very effectively and helped Art Rock and His Orchestra make the social event successful in every way. ROBERT CROSBIE. MERRILL PRIZE SPEAKING Due to the generosity and foresight of Dr. Abner L. Merrill, rhetorical prizes have been made available for Exeter High Students. When, in 1895, Mr. Merrill established a fund for this purpose, he was hoping thereby to promote in the School an earnest and increased interest in the subject of English Composition and Declamation and he very much desired that every boy who enters the High School shall have these prizes placed before him as a stimulus and incentive to make the best use of the opportunity given him to so perfect him- self in the Art of English Composition and general declamation that to be known as an Exeter High School prize boy shall be esteemed an honor worth striving for. Since the first contest, December Io. 1896, up to and including April, IQ37, forty contests have been held, three hundred and seventy-tive boys competing for prize money totaling s3,I6O. Only in the IQOO-O7 period, when Mr. Merrill himself deemed it advisable that the prize money should be used for reference books, was there no contest. Prize speaking is open to all boys of the upper three classes. The authors of the three best compositions, in the judges' opinion, and about seven declaimers, selected by the faculty or entered through a boy's own initiative. speak in public. Six prizes, three in composition and three in declamation, of 820, SI 2 and 38, are awarded the winners by the judges. The forty-fnrst annual contest for the Abner L. Merrill prizes in composition and decla- mation was held in the High School Auditorium, Thursday, April 21, 1938.

A. TOWLE JUNIOR PROM As we go to press, the class of 1939 is eagerly awaiting the great event of their Junior year, the Prom. A committee comprising Joseph Petroski. chairman, Robert Varrill, William Brewster, Kenneth Jewell, Richard Brewitt and Henry Mazalewski, is diligently planning decorations and favors. When this class steps out on May 6 to dance to Art Rock and His Orchestra's fox trots and waltzes, it is going to show the school a real Junior Prom! Best of luck for a social and financial success, thirty-niners! FRENCH CLUB Honor pupils fboys who attain a mark of 851, whose names appear on the monthly honor roll at least three times during the school year, are planning for their annual outing at Hampton Beach this June under the supervision of Miss Bruton. Parents and teachers have kindly co-operated in furnishing transportation for the boys. MUSIC FESTIVAL A group of boys from Exeter High and girls from Robinson Seminary will go to Nashua May thirteenth and fourteenth of this year to play in the All-State Orchestra. This is the tenth anniversary of the New Hampshire School Music Festival, of which Mrs. Johnson is president. The committees in charge expect two hundred in the Orchestra and nearly two hundred and fifty in the State Chorus. Massed bands, Glee Clubs. Ensembles and soloists will also participate during the two days and on Saturday a parade of bands will take place. All members of these groups will receive state eertihcates, and ratings will be given the Saturday morning tryouts. We have no contest this year. Sectional rehearsals of the Orchestra have been held in various cities in order to give the musicians the experience of playing in larger groups than their own. We expect to send the following boys: Thaddeus Klemarczyk, violin, three years in the All-State Orchestra, Everett Bean, violin, two years in the All-State Orchestra, Richard Brewitt, clarinet, and Carl Brewitt, flute. 19
