20 T H E S A M P L E R EDNA MURTHA “Polly” College Prep. Course; French Club, 1, 2; Latin Club, 2; Glee Club, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 8, 4; “Headed for Eden;” “Hugo in a Hurry;” Band, 1; Senior Play Committee, 4; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Reporter for School News, 3, 4; Student Forum, 2. “Polly” proves herself to be rather smart because she got a class day honor. We still wonder though, what she would have done without her little green book in chemistry class. “Polly” seems to have quite an interest in the Junior class this year, or is it the class? HERBERT NILES “Herby” (ieneral Course; President A. A., 4; Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Student Forum, 2, 3; Nature Club, 1, 2. “Herby”, the boy who became the state’s best goalie. He is also the presi- dent of the A. A. and has done a pretty good job at it. We wish you luck, “Herb.” HAROLD O’CONNELL Harold General Course; Nature Club, 1; Thomas Edison Club, 2; Track, 3; Ski Team. 4. Harold is the easy going fella of the class and would much rather be in the woods hunting than in school. Once while running for the track team at V. A he ran the wrong way. DANA ODETTE “Oscar” General Course; Track, 4; “Which is the Way to Boston;” “Headed for Eden.” Dana, another Gageville imp, is making his debut this year on the track squad. At the Rutland meet there were a lot of fellows running; Dana also ran. Doesn’t Brattleboro hold the same attraction that it did before that walk home at three o’clock in the morning? Regardless of the slams, we wish you lots of luck, “Oscar.” JULIA OSTRUSKI “Julie” General Course; Business Committee Junior Prom, 3. Julia is another member of our class that comes from North Walpole. Perhaps it’s her environment as well as her popularity that permits her to get away with chewing gum in chemistry class. She surely did know how to get on the right side of the faculty!

W’e understand that a girl named Then had some- thing to do with it. Why the sudden change from Springfield to Keene, “Sam”? PAUL ROB BIN Paul Commercial Course. Paul, known as“Pauly”to his friends, Poliwogto his intimate friends—is a happy-go-lucky youth.

ANTHONY ROGENSKI “ Tony” General Course. “Tony” is another sportsman of the class. Whenever there is any fishing or hunting to do, he will do it. “Tony’s” past experience as a baker did not seem to get him very far in Home Economics class. He was always getting his ideas mixed up with the teacher’s. We wish you luck in the bakery busi- ness, “Tony”.
