ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY Christine Ross Braley College Course “Chriss” Literary Editor of Academy Student” (2) (3) Editor-in-Chief of “Academy Student” (4) Class Book Committee (4) Winter Carnival Committee (4) “If speech were golden I would be a millionaire.” “Doesn’t that name, Christine Braley, look familiar to you? “Yes, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it written before. Let me think—ah, wasn’t it at the end of some poetry?” Sure thing! Why she's the poet in the class of 1!»23!” Yes, it is the truth. Chrissie has distinct poetic tendencies and we’re proud of it, too. What’s more she is of Scotch descent. Who knows, perhaps we shall live to see a second Robert Burns! As for her disposition—it is most genial. We do not know of a single enemy Chrissie has except perhaps him who is known as Mr. Latin Prose.

2 I CLASS 1922 Marion Emma Bennett Commercial Course “Chicken” “Benny” “On with the dance; let joy be unconfined.” Although we have spoken of Cleo” as being the vamp of our class, “Benny” is her close rival. She sits quietly in her seat rolling her eyes at hoys and girls alike. Studies and “Benny aren't very good friends although we have never heard of any very serious quarrels taking place between them. Of late, however, we have noticed a little more friendliness between these two, for they have decided that we should love our enemies as ourselves. Benny’ isn t much of a joke so far as we know, but she often utters ejaculations which are a joke to us. She likes shorthand, and she can write it, too. So much, so good; but she often gets angry with her typewriting. Any day you go into her typewriting class you can hear the paper tear, and if you happen to look around in time, you will see a piece go sailing into the waste paper basket. But for all these little flights of temper, we would miss “Benny” and her numerous hags of candy and peanuts.

2fi CLASS 1923 Priscilla Fairbanks Brooks College Course “Puss” Girls’ Varsity Basketball (3) (4) Student Board (3) (4) Alumni (3) Girls' Athletics (4) Reception Committee (3) Orchestra “She was ever a firm believer in Providence.” We presume that this girl is a student. We base our decision on the fact that she is always prepared to recite. How she must study,” we say. “She always knows the answer.” Yet, Puss, though you have become studious, there is a vivacity in your manner, a mischief hiding in your giggle, and a sparkle in your eye, which bids one beware of calling you a “hookworm. We have applauded your grit and energy on the basketball floor and at all games we hear your loyal “Come on St. J.” We know that in later life, whatever your work may be, success will be yours.
