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

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

John Janies McF.lroy Essex Junction “Johnny” Junior Response (.5), Class Football (4), Chairman A. A. Entertainment Committee (4). Editor-in-Chief, Clarion (4), Senior Reception Committee (3), Commencement Usher (3). Our respected ( ?) editor, who enjoys cutting grinds (about himself) and talking, lie took part in a debate once on the question of the third murderer in MacBeth. The verdict was unanimous—for the other side. His work in the football game last fall, while perhaps not effectual, was certainly spectacular. “I am monarch of all I survey; My right there is none to dispute.” Ira Jav Nichols Essex Center “Jay,” “Nick,” “Buffalo” School Baseball (1,3), Class Baseball Manager (1). School Football (3), Class Football (3, 4), Secretary and Treasurer A. A. (4), Dramatics (3, 4). Laugh and the world laughs with you. Jay has a heart as big as any one in school, although other parts of him are not so big. I le is always ready for a good time and the only trouble with him is that he comes from that forlorn and forsaken burg called Essex Center. “One single positive weighs more, , You know, than negatives a score.
