BRUCE, JAMES GRAHAM 114 Loomis St. Graham General Course Graham is a member of our class who came way from Springfield, Mass., to graduate with us. However, from rumors we hear of his frequent visits to a certain house on Union Street, we greatly fear that other enticements than just our class brought him to Vermont. BRUSH, WYMAN EDWIN 29 S. Winooski Ave. ••Wy General Course All his faults are such that we love him the better for them. Wyman ' s ready smile has won for him many friends. He is always willing to help and is for- ever making light his burdens by joking and pleasantry. Wherever he goes his cheerfulness follows him. CHASE, GEORGE WINFRED 51 Park Ave. Leaky , Mieky General Course Leaky always has a good time wherever he goes, be it to Montpelier or St. Albans. We expect this boy will follow in his father ' s footsteps in trade, but we should suggest because of his skilled workmanship, he take up basket-working. Honors: Varsity Basketball (2), (3), (4); Class Basketball (2); Varsity Football (2), (3), (4); Class Football (2). 25

BOMBARD, WILLIAM CLIFFORD Colchester, Vt. Buster General Course Men of few words are the best men. This young man hailed from Colchester, the place where many a good person went wrong. Though we don ' t see Buster very often at High School dances, we hear he is a regular tea hound in Colchester. BROOKS, ALFRED EDWARD 2G Greene St. Gussie Sub-Classical Course Gus is especially noted for his adherence to a single ruling ambition, for he is planning to be- come a renowned chemist. He has all the neces- sary qualifications, including not only great ability in his actual class work, but also that in- describable atmosphere in his appearance, voice and the like which is characteristic of all great chemists. Honors: Freshman Reception Com- mittee (3); Debating Club (4). BROWN, DORIS G3 S. Winooski Ave. Fat General Course A great deal of the success of the Stringed In- strument Club is due to Doris, because she not only is always at rehearsals herself, but insists that the other members are also present. Doris doesn ' t say much, but what she does say comes to the point. Honors: Gypsy Cantata (3); Com- mencement Player (3); Spanish Play (3); Girls ' Stringed Instrument Club (3), (4), Leader and Manager (4). 24

COBURN, RUTH WINONA 6% N. Winooski Ave. Ruth Sub-Classical Course Ruth has shown admirable wisdom and taste in choosing the drawing of pictures for her special accomplishment. There are two reasons for this statement: First, art tends to develop a love for beauty and a certain atmosphere, a degree of cul- ture, so to speak, secured in no other way. Secondly (and we fear that our too material and unappreciating minds place an undue emphasis on this reason), her ability has been of inestima- ble value in ornamenting this Oread. Honors: Class Basketball (3), (4); Football Banquet Committee (3); Oread Board (4); Debating Club (4). CURRY, MARION MAY S. Burlington, Vt. Shadows Sub-Classical Course Marion always did like Bobs but now hers has grown out quite lengthy. She likes stars, and moons and nights and spooks and is extremely fond of shadows. She was the fast center on our class team and also the Varsity team. Her favorite cities are Montpelier and Barre. (Why Marion?) Honors: Class Basketball (3), (4); Varsity Basketball (4); French Club (4); Fresh- man Reception Committee (4). DESAUTELS, HENRY ROBERT 50 N. Champlain St. Dizzy Commercial Course Never do for yourself what you can get someone else to do for you. ' That ' s Henry ' s motto. Aside from all this wickedness Henry is a jolly good sport, both in work and play. Honors: Com- mencement Usher (3); Remington Primary Award: O. A. T. Certificate. 26
