The Tenth Year

(No event title) -- Barony of the Golden Rivers
May, 1975

Sometime around here the College of St. Meryck held its First Annual Rowdies Revel. There were various contests and the story of St. Meryck.

Annotations:
"This was held at Putah creek lodge on the UC Davis campus. The tale of St. Meryk in which said creek featured prominently was hilarious. I vaguely remember the narrative being accompanied by live acting-out of the events in the life of the saint (but that may have been something else, Golden Rivers revels frequently featured dramatic presentations).” – Kevin Peregrynne
