AUDREY BIDWELL Audrey is our classical music lover. She is also the shortest member of our class. She plays tennis, basket- ball, and sings alto in music class. She is also known for sliding into her seat just about one minute after the last bell has rung. Aud’s favorite subject is French and she is a great help to the under-classmen. She has a calm and gentle nature except when in an argument, then look out. We think she has finally made up her mind to go to Cornell next year, but you never can tell. She may turn up at Middlebury yet. Wherever you go, Audrey, we know you’ll succeed because you’ve got what it takes. Born: 1926. Home: Wells River. Ambition: To travel in Europe.

The way he throws those balls around is a treat. Beck” is a great hand with the girls. What we want to know is, which charms them, the car or the blush?
