There comes a time in every man's life when he is in
debted to a most gracious community and that appears to be
tlw> predicament I find myself in at the present momeftt.
Many, many thanks are due to many, many folks for
the uhselfish cooperation and willingness to help to make St.
Mark's Carnival the success that it was. For one to mention
those that gave of their time and manual labor to produce
an undertaking of the Carnival’s magnitude, would be a Her
culanian task. It would involve a list of hundreds of town
folk. The organization of a group of people for a production
of this type is like building a wheel. The hub is just as im
portant as the smallest brad that is used in it’s manufacture
and without each component part the wheel would not func
tion as a wheel The spokes of the wheel support the hub and
keep it in place, and so on. Each part, regardless of size, goes
into the making of a useable machine.
Now the 1954 St. Mary's Carnival is history. We made
mistakes but they were innocent ones. The old saying goes,
“To err is human,” and that crown fits most of us some of
the time, but by the same token to benefit by ones errors and
to make the necessary corrections, tends to create perfection
which is every man’s goal.
Again I wise to thank everyone fcr their help.
