JANE ELIZABETH BIXBY Jane General Stunt Nigh' 3, 4; Senior Play 4. Introducer 3d Act; Junior Prom Committee 3; Claw Treasurer 1; Glee Club 1; Freshman Reception Committee 4. Rainbow is the bright spot in the senior class. Her endless flirtations with young gallants in every class have drawn her many a disgusted look from the tortured teachers, but Jane is sweetly oblivious to all. Jane’s feet are as bright and twinkling as her eyes, she sure whirls off the jazz at Island Park. Does “Itchy” dance? There’s a life’s job for you Jane. Underneath all of this raillery we honestly wish Jane the l est of luck and happiness. GLORIA ELAINE BLOOD Glory Genera We've all wondered why Glory has been so quiet and unobtrusive. She is very shy and reserved, but then isn’t there a saying somewhere that still waters always run deep? Glory has a reason for keeping to herself. She’s found that one dark and dashing cavalier is sufficient to fill her life without the companionship of a bunch of noisy riotous classmates. She lias many girl friends but has steered clear of the boys. Good luck Glory, keep him young and dashing. DANIEL JOHN BROCKWAY Brock General Senior Play Comm. 4. Another tiger from Quechee Tech. Brock can woo’em and win’em with the rest. His car is a favorite gathering place for the Senior bachelors. Bnvk is one of the fellows you don’t hear much from but “Still waters run deep. He also is some cook. KENNETH JOSEPH BYRON Ken General Glee Club 3, 4; Freshman Reception 4; Senior Play 4; Dramatic Club 4; “H. M. S. Pinafore” 4; Burlington State Music Festival 3. 4. “ ‘Tis well to lie off with the old love. Before you are on with the new.” According to all outward aspects. Ken seems to have descended from the Byron of English literature days. “Byron’s paths lead east, north, south, west. But the paths that's traveled the most. I wist.” is the one which leads to and terminates in Quechee. Besides his amorous activities, we shall all remember Ken for his noble efforts in English literature and how he tried to exceed Miss Oakes’ almost perfect knowledge of the past masters.

COLLAMER MARTIN ABBOTT Buddy Classical Music Club 4; Freshman Reception 4; Stunt Night 4; Newspaper 1. 2. 3, 4; Latin Club 3, 4; “H. M. S. Pianafore (orchestra) 4; Burlington Music Festival 2. 3, 4; Ski Team 4. ‘Anything for a quiet life. Buddy is the reserved type of person—outwardly. He would even overlook I atin Club meetings to preserve his quiet. But. after careful inspection, we feel that perhaps Buddy's life is not the open book he would have us believe it is. His interests of late have been taking a feminine inclination. However, as it would embarass this mild-mannered fellow to divulge his heart beat. we shall keep silent thereupon, but the initials might in all probability be H. C. EVELYN AGNES ADAMS Tommy General Glee Club 1. 2. 3; Junior Prom Committee 3; Stunt Night 1. 2. 4; Freshman Reception Committee 4; Senior Play (Introduction) 4. We’ve all noticed that mischievous little twinkle in Tommy's eyes. We wonder if perhaps all of those mysterious boy friends aren’t the reason for it. Tommy is known as the Talking Machine but so far this ability has served her well as the lawyer of our class and we hojH it will continue to do good service. Some of the numl ers of the Glee Club may remember Evelyn’s Talents along that line. Re-meml»er Tommy who’s that off tune now. Evelyn's bubbling laughter will carry her happily along life's highway. ROMEO MARTIN BAR I BEAU Jerry Scientific Newspa| er 1.2; Basketball 2; Office Staff 4; Junior Rotarian 4. O sleep, why dost thou leave me. Why thy visionary joys remove?” Romeo finds it awfully tough to keep his eyes open and his mind on French when the fairies of dreamland l eckon him on. However, a few pointed remarks from Miss Young cause him to sit up at times. Without Romeo French III would be somewhat duller than it might l»e. PHYLLIS MAY BEATTIE Red Commercial Basketball 1, 2. 3. 4. We don't wonder any that Red likes White River Jet. because of that little attraction down on the South End. But Phyllis finds rime to do other things besides liking White River's South End. She is one of our stnrs in basketball and also one of our best dancers. She may l e small boy , but watch out. she has a tenq er and a half. Go out into the world Red and show them what’s what, even though you are small.

 HELEN PAULINE COLE Butch Classical Freshman Reception 4; Latin Club Irens. 3, Pres. 4; Dramatic Club 4; Stunt Night 4; Senior Play 4; (Introduction Act II); Junior Prom Committee; Play Festival (at Hanover) 4. We all know Helen for her apparent ability to ■date'’ the boys. She never lacks male escorts. But this doesn’t seem to interfere with her studies, for Helen is always right there with a good answer. Our Helen hailed from Oueehec Tech and we have to admit it sure produces some fine brains. We might add also that Helen is a farmerette but we doubt if Helen stays at home long enough so that she could tell a horse from a car, as automobiles are more to Helen’s purpose than the proverbial old mare.” Keep up the good work Helen, popularity sure pays when spiced with sufficient knowledge. HENRY RAYMOND COOK Cookie Scientific Freshman Reception 4; Senior Play Usher 4 ; Junior Prom Com. 3. Silence is more eloquent than words.” Henry would have us believe that he is the embodiement of knowledge. However, it seems that the embodiement of knowledge is as talkative as the Egyptian Sphinx. There are very few of us who know anything of the hidden life of Cookie. Cookie is a reserved old boy, very popular with his selected group. However, we have found that Cookie never ventures into the open after 7 P. M. They say Macbeth and the three witches haunt him. GLADYS LOUISE COUTERMARSH Hud” Commercial Beyond The Alps Lies Italy;” Prize Speaking 3; Junior Prom Comm. 3; Dramatic Club 4. Secretary; Glee Club 1. 3; Year Book Comm. 4; Stunt Night 1; Freshman Reception 4. Maybe Bud does live a little way out. but she certainly keeps up with the times. She’s had a brilliant social career during her Senior year. When we see Bud we invariably see Christine. And anyone in the study hall fth period can tell you how she and Jane Bixhy whisper “about dates. She has specialized in Commercial subjects and we wonder if she hasn’t the right idea. Aren’t there always places for efficient, good looking stenographers. Best of luck Gladys. WILLIAM FRANKLIN CROSBY Bing Scientific Pres. Industrial Arts Club I; Football 4; Dramatic Club Vice-Pres. 4; Class Attorney 4; Beyond The Alps Lies Italy 4. Hear me, for I will speak.” —Shakespeare. Bing is undoubtedly piqued at the attention we did not give to his admonitions during class meetings. Bing is class attorney and strives to keen us within the bounds of parliamentary law. But it is just as difficult for Bing to keep us within those bounds as it is for him to keep himself within the bounds of credible statements when speaking of his personal experience in the Yellowstone National Park. On the whole, however. Bing is an ideal friend and one whom it would do to ride up the river with as the westerners say.
