 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.

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.

MAURICE FRED CROWELL “Crow” General Freshman Reception 4; Stunt Night 4. “I care for nobody, no not I. if no one cares for me. Bickcraiaff Maurice, contrary to his nickname. “Crow. is the personification of innocence. There is little or nothing that Crow” does wrong even when answering questions, although he seldom tries this dubious and sometimes dangerous practice. Maurice will attain a very high goal if he keef s up his good work. CATHERINE MARIE DePALO Kan” General Junior Prom Committee 3; Newspaper 1. 2; Glee Club 1. 2. 3. 4; Basketball 2, 3; Christmas Party Committee 4; Usher (Senior Play) 4. Kay’s morbid countenance ! eguilee her joking, jolly self. Kay s told us much about the prince charming but she keeps him safely oiit ot our way. We aren't surprised that Kay takes frequent visits to New York. Our Kay thinks argument is the spice of life especially in Claw Meeting. Kay. Tommy’s close pal. also exercised her vocal cords, yell Kay if the prince charming likes them ol er. we’ll all take the hint. Kay’s greatest ambition is to be a nurse. Keep up hopes Kay. the uniform gets them. MARIE LOUISE DeROCHE .Vimi Scientific Prize Speaking 3. Chairman 4; Stunt Night 4; Dramatic Club President 4: Year Book Committee 4; Class Vice President 4; rreehman Reception Committee 4; Play Festival (at Hanover) 4; Distnct inner Prize Speaking 4. Our Jeanette MacDonald or at least that’s what Marie would have us think. Jolly, good-natured, fun-loving Mimi, trilled her way through her fourth year. Mane without a song, is like the sky without a sun. By saying that Marie trilled her way through, we do not mean that she didn’t study, for Marie has an especially brilliant mind and in addition to all oi this, she still found time for numerous social activities. Marie was so busy with social activities the last year that we all wonder if Whit didn't suffer neglect. However. Marie keep carefree and your life won’t be dark. JOHN MEMHARD DUTTON Johnny” Scientific Newspaper 1. 3. 4; Orchestra 3. 4; Glee Club 3. 4; Music Club 4; State Music Festival 3. 4. Now. good Cesario. but that piece of song. f That old antique song we heard last night. ' Johnny is the class pianist. He plucks the ivories with skill comparable almost to that supreme maestro William Henry Allen, alias Chopin. Together they make a hill billy gang” sound like Toscanini s symphony orchestra. The school orchestra would no more ! e complete in quality and representation without Johnny than Hartford would be without students. We feel that Johnny and Mr. Allen are the only passible successors of Toscanini and Stokowski.
