Behold, and here we have our very (110%) efficient business manager. If he doesn’t have his way you know what will happen. His girl motto is. “Quantity, not quality,” which he always does his best to keep to. W hy is he an expert judge of girls’ 98c. pumps? We love his merry laughter Which runs up and down the scale. (I cannot tell you which it’s like; A rooster or a whale). James Perrine Barney Fort Ethan Allen “Jimmy,” “Barney” Dramatics (4).

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). Chairman Tennis Committee (3), Football Manager (4). Commencement Speaker. Maurice takes a lively interest in the hotel business, judging from his frequent visits to the Lincoln Inn. Physics teaches us that the larger the base an object has the better it keeps balance. Can Jim ever lose his balance? Cheer up, Jim—“They is others.” Did you ever hear it thundering during morning exercises? Well, that’s Jim’s Choral Union voice. “Any little girl that’s a nice little girl Is the right little girl for me.” ,,;l8e nineteen

Donald Henry Bissell Essex Junction “Don,” Bissell Art Editor The Clarion (4), Commencement Speaker (4), Valedictorian (4). A good example of a geometric line—that which has length only. I Ie has to he careful in walking across the floor not to fall through the cracks. Outside of school hours he helps get the Essex Record out on time, hut rarely succeeds. He is a regular devil at :he printing business and eats type and printers’ ink for breakfast. Don is as much at home with the girls as an elephant on skates. lie has worn out two or three typewriters in the interests of the Clarion. Every family has a skeleton in the closet. James Randolph Burke Essex Junction “Professor, Deak,” Ranny” President A. A. (4), School Football (3). Class Football (4), Dramatics (2), Fair Committee (3, 4), Associate Editor The Clarion (4). Football Hop Committee (3), Oratory (1), Senior Reception Committee (3), Senior Reception Usher (2), Commencement Usher (3). Deak is an accomplished singer and dancer—and talker: well, you should hear him. He can explain the law, gossip, talk athletics and explain a recitation all in one breath. His ambition is to he a human Edison record. “And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew That one small ( ?) head should carry all he knew.” Page twenty-one
