22 T II E S A M P I, E R GLORIA MENARD College Preparatory (Horia Gloria, lei silence be commended Orchestra, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; School Column, 3, 4; Freshman Reception Committee, 4. Gloria can always be seen coming into Room Eleven just as the last bell rings. We don’t know the reason for the last minute arrival, but we are suspicious. No matter, her lessons always seem to be done and she certainly knows how to keep quiet. WALTER MINER General “Pop” “ Laugh and the world laughs with you Football, 2, 3; Raseball. 1, 2, 4; Glee Club, 2, 4; All-state Chorus, 4; School Column, 3, 4; Stage Manager, “Opening of a Door,” 4. “Lefty Pop Groove” Miner, the happy-go-luckiest boy in the class. Seriously, now. Pop what’s the meaning of those long treks to Rutland you’ve been in the habit of making? RICHARD MOORE General Dick All's well that ends teell Football, 4. We hear that Gageville is a “happy medium” between Bellows Falls and Saxtons River—or was it merely engine trouble, Dick? EDWARD MORSE General Abner Why make one girl happy and millions miserable Ski Team, 2, 3, 4; Captain Ski Team, 4; Track, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3. “Abner” has been awfully scared since he started reading “ Lil Abner.” He is afraid that he’ll find Daisy Mae. By the looks of his date book, he’s trying hard. “Abner” really is a man of few words. He believes in skipping the details. We wonder if he regards school as a detail? LAWRENCE O’CONNOR General Skeezy Better late than never Junior Prom, 3. “Skeezy” is the wild man from Saxtons River. We didn’t hear much from “Skeezy’s” corner of the room this year. He was either serious for once in his life, or else he got sick of bothering Mr. Osborn.

THE SA MPLER 21 GERTRUDE MANNING Commercial “for ” “Speech is golden and I'm rich School ('olumn, 3. “Gert” is notorious for two things- upsetting classes with a silly giggle and her mania for uniforms. Perhaps this explains why Webster is pursuing the janitor’s profession? RAYMOND MASSUCCO Latin “Ray” “And the htinier home (from Homeland) Football, i, 3; asketball, 1, 2. 3; Baseball, 3; Dramatic Club, 3. 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Sampler Board, 4; “Pierre Patelin,” 3; “Cat and the Canary,” 3; Senior Assembly Program, 4; President A. A., 4; Treas- urer Junior Class, 3; Stage for Teachers’ Plays, ■i, 3; School Patrol, 1, 'I, 3, Captain. Ray” got a bad break in football, but it wasn’t long before he was again touring the countryside under his unofficial title of foreign ambassador of B. F. H. S. “ Ray” does a lot of hunting, but the “game” he goes after is always in season. THERESA McAULIFFE General Theresa “She'd rather he with a man than an angel anytime Interclass Basketball, i, 3; Varsity, 4; Cheerleading, 3; Captain, 4; Glee Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 4; “The Necklace,” 3; “His FirstDate,” 4. Although Theresa is a cheerleader, it’s dramatics that she’s interested in. “Mac” is a wonderful help and can always be counted on as a willing back stage hand. GERALD McGINNIS College Preparatory Jerry Play out the play Interclass Basketball, 1. Spotlight Club, 4; “Romance is a Racket,” 4. For two reasons the sophomore class appeals to “Jerry.” He has a fine capacity for arguing with Mr. Stockwell to stall the chemistry period. More wind to you, “Jerry”! JAMES McMENNAMIN General Mac Much praying, but no piety Football, 3, 4; Basketball, 3, 4: Baseball, 2, 3, 4. “ Mac” is an athelete with ability. He’s exceptional on the gridiron, the court, and the diamond. His determination to succeed carried him from the J. Y.’s to varsity co-captain in a year. He can usually be found holding down a cushion in “Bob” Crotty’s car.

THE S A MP LE R 23 GEORGE PARKER General “Porky” “Speed is not a needed factor Glee Club, 2; Dramatic Club, 4; Junior Prom, 3; ‘‘(’at and the Canary,” 4. “Porky” is a very good driver—especially at two o’clock in the morning. Rumors have circulated that George took lessons driving a locomotive before he got the “Car.” So, you teachers, if George raises his voice, it’s only be- cause he’s used to yelling above the din of the shuddering “Chevy.” ROBERT POTTER College Preparatory “Motto' “A studious path leads to honor” School column, 3, 4. The valedictorian of the Senior Class. “Bobbie” is one of the products from the Westminster farm country, and he’s proud of it. He’s worked for his honors and we’re all more than glad to see him get them. Best of luck to the little boy with the big “I. Q. ” RAYMOND POWERS General “Tubby” “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing (ilee Club, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 4. As one of the fair-haired boys from Westminster, Ray upholds the tradi- tion of being quite a sport. He can usually be seen cavorting around in a green dragon “that clinks and clanks” but gets there. His favorite trick to get the fairer sex mad, is to hide when there’s a lady’s choice at the school dances. SHIRLEY RANDALL English “Shirttail” “ Bait the hook with a smile Glee Club, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4. Shirley is one of those girls who never can keep their shoes on. They hurt her feet. Ask her how she felt when Moran took her shoes and hid them in English class. Her voice is very soft and quiet when she wants it to be. CARL RANSOM General “ Ted “Calmness is not always the attribute of innocence Carl belongs to the main room gang, and he gave Mr. Osborn a merry time hopping up the aisle this year.
