In the category of Comedy, fourth prize went to Naya Leslie for "The Queen", third prize was won by Rocco Padula for excerpts from the Seinfeld Monologues, the second prize winner was Brooke Williams for "Why Not Me". John Brouillette won first prize in Comedy for "Stuck in a Monologue".

In the varietal category, Second place went to Kelsey Morris for President Reagan's Inaugural Address, and first place went to Rhaine Vore-Mosher for "The Unknown Part of the Ocean". Refreshments were provided by the student council and students and faculty helped with ushering, prompting, lighting, judging and back stage organization. Thanks to all who attended and especially our presenters for a very enjoyable evening.

We at the blog would also like to thank Vincent Elacqua for keeping us up to date on all that has been happening with this dedicated group of students and adults.

Saturday, the Methodist Church had a great turn out for their Cookie Sale- along with gently used toys and decorations.

Sunday, the Town of Marshall hosted Santa for his annual visit to the Train Station.

Complimentary hayrides, cocoa, cookies, and chili, along with Santa's smiling face (and a small toy) made for happy visitors! The frozen ground with light snow cover, but not too freezing temperatures made it an ideal year.
