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.

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.

27 ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY Helen Gertrude Brough College Course “Helen” Dramatic Club (2) (3) Vice-President (4) ‘Pomander Walk” (2) “Fan and Two Candlesticks” (2) “Passing of the Third Moor Back” (4) Prize Speaking (3) Orchestra (3) (4) Student Board (4) “If knowledge be the mark, to you it shall suffice.’ Helen would give us the impression that she is disgusted with the world, but don’t let appearances deceive us, for she gets all there is out of life. If you want to see her peeved, tell her she is very dignified. She attends every class and prepares every lesson as faithfully as the earth continues to move about the sun. Never have we beard her use slang. She has a dignified personality combined with a love for fair play and uprightness. Have you ever seen her on the Stage? Then you’ve missed something, for she s a wonderful actress.
