22 CLASS 1023 James Gordon Baldwin General Course “Baldy” Football (1) (2) (3) “You have such a February face So full of frost, of storm, of cloudiness.” This portrait although a perfect likeness, does not give a definite idea of the remarkable qualities of the man. He takes great pride in the fact that he is the brightest hoy in the class. When he won las first spurs in football, we interviewed him on the subject, and obtained the following statement: My great ability for football lay undiscovered for a long time. But when it was discovered, 1 was immediately entrusted with the position which I hold with such facility.” “Success,” he says, “has never spoiled me.” Baldy has a fine football record to his credit, and his work on the field can hardly he forgotten.

ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY 21 Beatrice Lena Bailey Commercial Course “Bea” Class Book Committee (4) “Confident that what the future yields will be the right Unless myself be wrong.” B. L. B. is the way she signs her name so of course her nickname is “Bea.” She is quite studious and generally knows her lessons better than most of us, but we don't hold that against her. Ask her some day what she got in a history test. Almost without fail, she will answer with precision, Oh, I got a terrible mark; really it was awful. To your cheerful remark, “Well, that is good, what was it? she will reply, “Ninety-five. Isn't that horrible?” Without doubt you will agree with her. She really is humorous, sitting across the room giggling at the rest of us and having a good time in general. But she is one of the best and is liable to bring home the “bacon” any day.

ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY Marion Adine Bell Commercial Course Mann” Athletic Association (2) Student Board (1) “After all. the best thi g one can do When it is raining is to let it rain.” One of the first to get off the 8.10 train every Monday morn is “Mann.” You can almost immediately recognize her by her perpetual grin. Don’t imagine things quiet and peaceful where “Mann is. She never fails to extort the smallest grain of humor from the most solemn circumstances. Come what may, she never frets nor worries. She is always on the lookout for jokes and witty speeches which she commits to memory and showers on her humble friends when occasion arises. And beware! Don’t ever get into an argument with “Mann for she has a monopoly on the last word. She writes the most clever stones and tells even more thrilling ones about life in South Lunenburg. . u cannot endure St. Johnsbury more than five days a week m spite of tie gav times at the Cottage, and the vain pleas of her friends. By what she says we gather that she spends her week ends shocking her neig i-bors and “listening in” on the newly installed radio. N ou cannot begin to find failings that will balance “Mann’s” good points and—after all is said and done, there is really only one—like “Mann.’
