Colchester Maria Wright Aldrich “M’ri” Class Vice-president (4), Fair Committee (4), Commencement Speaker (4). The living example of the saying, You cannot judge by appearances.” Although she is quite a little saint, she is a little- in her home town. Her accomplishments are in varying directions: probably the most familiar is looking prim in English class. The first sight from the window in the morning is M’ri coming with her (saw) horse dragging three big Colchester pound sweets. “Although she is quite and demure She’s jolly through and through. She’s loyal to her friends, we know, Whatever they may do.” Maurice Read Allen Essex Junction Jim Class Baseball (1). School Football (3), Class Football (4).

Of a celebrated sculptor whose many works of art adorned Athens, it was said, If you wish to see his monument, look around you.” Just so the class of 1916 makes this announcement, If you wish to see our memorial, behold it—the first number of ‘The Clarion.' ” According to the great law of nature, cream will rise to the lop. and so have we. Look at us—the largest class that has ever graduated from E. J. II. S. But, not being satisfied with this, we revolutionized things and instead of one hoy and ten girls we produced fifteen boys and six girls. We also brought forth the only resemblance to a winning baseball, football or basketball team. Oh. what would (lermany do if this mighty class should join the Allies? But we will leave the answer to you, who will he the judges as we go into the world. Therefore, this wonderful year of 1916. which will go down in history, will see the greatest, brightest and best class bid farewell to the teachers and halls of dear old E. J. H. S. Max V.
