T H E S A M P L E R MARGARET PEONTAK “Peg” General Course; “Which is the Way to Boston; “Headed for Eden; Dramatic Club, 4; Glee Club, 4; Interclass Basketball, 3; Typist for School News, 4. A little girl with big ideas and also a big boy friend. For a while she wanted to go back to Fitchburg, but “Big Bill filled the order all right and she’s perfectly willing to stay right here, and we re glad to have her she s lots of fun. SAMUEL RICHARDS “Sammy” College Prep. Course; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Track, 2,3,4; Captain of Track, 3; Dramatic Club, 1, 2; “Enchanted Isle;” Junior Prom Committee, 3; Senior Hop Committee, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Student Patrol, 3, 4. “Sammy” is one of our most popular boys, although we really couldn’t ap- preciate him because he spent most of his nights in Keene, w hen he wasn’t ush- ering at the Opera House. 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. His chief occupation is the tenor half of a duet, known far and wide as the “shop boys’ chorus.” He also likes to hum in his other classes, especially Office Practice. He is a good friend and a good worker. ROBERT ROBY “Bob” General Course; Football, 2, tf, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Track, 4; Business Manager Senior Sampler, 4; Nature Club, 1; Treasurer Senior Class. The boy who knows his way around the football field, basketball court, track field, and especially Route 5 to Brattleboro. “Bob” has the reputation of being the best looking and most popular boy in the class to back him up. 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”.

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!

T II E S A M P L E R ELIZABETH ROLAND “ Bdty” General Course; “Headed for Eden.” “Betty” is a studious girl. Though she seems serious and reserved to those who don’t know her, she is a good sport and friend to those who do. We all wish that we had that slow, carefree, unruffled manner of “Betty’s”. Is it North Walpole? ALICE BOYCE “AV General Course. “ Al” is a quiet girl and never had a good reason to stay out of school. We don’t hear much of or about her because she goes on her way minding her own business and staying out of trouble. If you’re looking for Alice, look for Mary Shaughnessy first. ROY RUGGLES “Sid College Prep Course; All-state (dee Club, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2,3, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4; (dee Club, 3, 4; A. A. Treasurer, 4; French Club, 2; Spotlight Club, 2, 3 4; Electrician for Dramatics Club, 2, 3, 4; Thomas Edison Club, 2; Editor- in-chief of School News, 4. Roy is a very studious young man but he sure has got rhythm when it comes to playing with the “Musical Aces.” We are afraid that without Roy as the electrician, the lighting effects of many of our school plays would not be so realistic. OLIVE RUMNEY Olive College Prep. Course; Science Club, 1; (dee Club, 1,2,3, 4; Dramatics Club, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 2, 3; “Growing Pains;” “Maid and the Middy;” “Enchanted Isle;” Flower Committee, 3; Hobby Exhibit, 3; News Reporter, 3, 4. To all outward appearances a sedate young lady. But oh, what impish- ness behind that serious countenance! Few leaders have her practical mind and willingness to help. Because people always mention her lovely braids, we will not. MARY SHAUGHNESSY Mary General Course. Mary to all appearances is a quiet girl but when she is with her friends she makes as much if not more noise than they do. She’s another North Walpole offspring.
