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.

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.

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”.

BERTHA SMITH T II E S A M P L E R 28 “ Bert ' Commercial Course; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Co-Captain, 4; Nature Club, 1; Student Forum, 2; Refreshment Committee for Junior Prom, 3. “Bert,” the belle of Cambridgeport. She is not only a good farm hand, but also a very good basketball player. When “Bert graduates she has her choice of accepting one of two contracts. One is offered by AI Rand to play with his team, the Bloomer Girls, for fifty years, the other by a certain blonde from Amherst. From all appearances it is believed she will accept tlie latter one. Anyway “Bert”, here’s wishing you luck. STEPHEN STAMBO “Steve General Course; Decorating Committee Junior Prom, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Senior Bazaar Committee, 4; Stage Carpenter, 3, 4. Stephen can answer any question you may have in mind. He may not say much but he knows too much, sometimes. We think he should retire after getting out of school so that he will have a chance to recuperate after all the work lie’s clone around here fixing up the stage. RAE STEVENS Roe Commercial Course; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; President of Girls Glee Club, 4; Nature Club, 1; “Maid and the Middy;” “Growing Pains;” “Enchanted Isle;” Student Forum, 2; Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4. Rae is one of our Saxton’s River girls, and it’s quite a long way to walk when you have to stay after school, isn’t it Rae? She doesn’t seem to mind it, or probably she doesn’t have to walk all the way. What is it, Rae, a techni- que? Rae has proved her ability as an actress and is a swell kid to know. SIGMUNT SYSKO “Sigie” College Prep. Course; Science Club, 2; Dramatics Club, 2; Latin Club, 2, 3; Treasurer of Junior (’lass, 3; Manager of Business Committee for Senior Hop, 3; Decorating Committees, 3; Baseball Manager, 1; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Hockey, 2, 3, 4: Hockey Captain 4; Interclass Basketball, 2, 3; Student Patrol, 3, 4; “Hugo in a Hurry;” “Headed for Eden.” This blonde haired youth, “Sigie”, with a weakness for a certain little girl named Ellen, certainly has gone places in high school. Not only one of our star hockey players, he was also on the baseball team and has done his bit of acting too. Any amount of praise wouldn’t be enough for a boy like “Sigie” who has attained for himself the honor of being valedictorian of his class. PHILIP TOLARO “Phil General Course; Stage Carpenter, 3, 4; Decorating Committee Senior Bazaar, 4; Prom, 3; Hop, 3; Sampler Board; Hobby Committee, 3; Track, 4. “Phil” is the little man of the class but there is no doubt that hecando plenty of damage with his shop tools. You know he is our carpenter, especially when scenery has to be fixed for plays.
