ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY 21) Sylvia Lee Burton College Course “Sliver” “Sylvia” Reception Committee (2) (4) Vice-President of Class Refreshment Committee Hallowe’en Party (2) “She reads much; she is a good observer.” Sylvia hailed from Canada. If all Canadian girls are like her. we’d like some more for she certainly is all right. Some of us remember hearing her read Virgil as if it were a Mother Goose Rhyme. Friend: “I spent an hour and a half on outside reading last night. How much time did you spend?” Sylvia: “Oh. about three hours.” Even so, Sylvia always has a ready smile and a cordial Hello for everybody, and she is one of those rare specimens of humanity who will work when put on a committee.

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.

:jo CLASS “Molly” is a small, nervous person who wears a pair of goggles which nearly cover her. In bookkeeping class she is continually quarreling with her bothersome neighbor, and we hear her exclaiming, “Don’t! Stop that! Molly’ is very industrious and faithfully prepares her lessons day by day. Ever-ready recitations and ability to define words have won her fame. It is safe to wager she will succeed in whatever she chooses to do.
