Abstract: Let $ X$ be a simplex and $ K$ a compact subset of the set of all extreme points of $ X$. We show that any bounded function $ f$ of Baire class $ \alpha$ on $ K$ can be extended to a function $ h$ of affine class $ \alpha$ on $ X$. Moreover, $ h$ can be chosen in such a way that $ h(X)\subset \overline{\operatorname{co}} \,f(K)$.
