Max Williams Drury Essex Junction “Mickey,” “Homer, “Slim Class President (2, .1, 4), Secretary and Treasurer A. A. (2, 3), School Baseball (3), Class Baseball (1). School Football (3), Class Football (4), Dramatics (3, 4), Salutatorian (4). If we had known Max was such a sinner as he is, we never would have elevated him to the high executive position that he now holds. It is certainly shocking. He winks at every girl he meets and even turns to look after her after she has passed him. He is harmless, at any rate. “Speak, sir: what trade art thou?” “Why, sir. a carpenter.” Allen Nelson Hilbert Essex Junction “Gillie,” “Irving Class Secretary and Treasurer (4), School Baseball (3), Class Football Captain (4), Football Manager (3), Basketball Captain (4), Baseball Captain (4), Class Will (4). Between peddling groceries, acting as escort to a certain teacher from Essex Center and looking out for a member of the Junior class and exercising a racehorse. Gillie is kept busy. His chief characteristic is that he always has something to do. But with all his occupations, he occasionally finds time to grin and seek advice from his superiors. l'lie magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.” Page twenty-three

Underhill William Newell Burnett “Bill Sandwich Sale Committee (4). William the Silent is always into something. If it isn’t on the hack seat in French class it is at recess. Who remembers the day Bill was caught in Room Five? He remembers all about it. Some interesting French lesson, eh, Bill? 11 is 500-page book, How to tirin’’ will have a large sale when completed. Bill is the sole agent of this masterpiece of literature. Still waters run deep, but the Old Scratch is at the bottom of them all. Geraldine Violet Davis Williston “Marion,” Jerry Freshman Reception Committee (3), Fair Committee (4), Associate Editor The Clarion (4), I’lay Committee (4). Dramatics (4). Marion has so much interest in the real estate business that she has no time for school affairs, so she says. Marion enjoys the distinction of being the only girl in the class of '16 who comes from the great metropolis of Williston. She still remembers the time she wore the pink dress at the New Year’s dance. “Her modest looks a cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn.” Page twenty-two

Williston Arnold Albert Gregory “ ireg” School Baseball (,3), Class Baseball (1), School Football (3), Class Football (3). This aspirant to wisdom grinds twenty-four hours each day with the exception of the twenty-three which he divides up between eating, sleeping and walking the trolley line for exercise ( ?). With all his faults, ireg is a good little chap and we like him very much. “Now 1 lay me down to sleep. 1 pray the Lord my smile to keep. Preserve my toofies white as Pearl’s Make me popular with the girls.” Roy Sidney Hunt Essex Junction “Varsity,” “Bow” Fair Committee (4), Football Hop Committee (3), School Football Captain (3). Class Football Captain (3), School Football Manager (4), School Baseball (3). Class Baseball (1), Class Football (3, 4), School Basketball Manager (4), School Football (1, 3), Class Football (3. 4). Commencement Usher (3). Athletic Editor Clarion (4). Some have greatness thrust upon them, blit of this class Varsity is certainly not a member. He is just naturally great at two things: athletics and loafing. He aspires to be great in but one other place—among the ladies. We advise all freshmen to take Bow for a motto as far as athletics are concerned, but no farther. “Wisely and slowly; they stumble that run fast. Page twenty-four
