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).

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

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

Chester Munson Kirby Williston “Antwine” Oratory (2, 3, 4), Commencement Speaker (4). The original speed bug. Once upon a time he rode a mile in one and three-fourths (minutes) on his bicycle. (Yes, Mary, this is absolutely true, for he said so himself). His favorite amusements are doing arithmetic and driving his auto, lie may frequently he found at a certain little red school-house in his home town or out joy-riding in his machine, which is a rattling good car. He is thoroughly educated in the elementary principles of strong language, for he drives a Ford. The Ford is my auto: 1 shall not want (another).” Helen Gertrude Lincoln Essex Junction Curly,” “I'heobe Fair Committee (4). Author Class Song (4), Sandwich Sale Committee (4). Amid the hustle and bustle of the opening of our Junior year along came Helen, this citrlv-headed little hit of inconsistency and close at her heels followed the siege of the seven suitors, hut who wonders after having seen her little smile? Sensible, practical, witty and thoughtful we're mighty glad she wanted to be with ns. A town that boasts inhabitants like me Can have no lack of good society.” Page twenty-five
