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.

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.

28 CLASS 1023 Beulah Helen Brunelle Commercial Course “Buddy” Glee Club 1020 Reception Committee 1020 A true friend to the true.’ Buddy is a typical flapper—bobbed hair n’ everything; yet she never goes to extremes in anything more than pencil leads, and they do not exceed an inch in length as a rule. You should hear them fly in shorthand class when she starts speeding. She can dance, she can sing, she can drive a Ford, and you should see her put the frills on skating. She is the only “Oui, Oui” girl in our class and she has few rivals in being the “wee, wee’st.” There is one thing that you can almost always find in her possession and that is a dictionary, either Webster’s or Gregg’s. She is really quite a studious person, as the above would suggest, in spite of her flapperism. When all is said, she is the very best of Buddies, always ready for a joke even if it is quite often on herself. She fills a place among us in the classroom and one which no other Buddy could occupy.
