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.

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.

•24 THE S A M»PL E R WILLIAM ROBINSON College Preparatory “ Willie'' “I am the best of them” Hockey, 3, 4: Junior Prom, 3. Mr. Holder says goodbye to Willy, his right-hand man, with, quote, “ He was the best hockey manager I ever had.” Seriously, Willy, that Vermont Sesquicentennial Essay “you” wrote was swell. PAULINE ROGENSKI General “Polly “Newt, old news, and such news as you never heard of Glee Club, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4. Polly is another of Miss Madigan’s Home Ec. wizzards. Her food al- ways manages to come out just right and is always safe to eat. She and Helen Smith know all the news that is fit to print—and tell it. VIRGINIA ROSE College Preparatory Gin “She who trifles with all is less likely to fall than she who trifles with one Interclass basketball, 4, 3; Glee Club, 1, 4, 3, 4; Operetta, 4; All State Chorus, 4: Dramatic Club, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 3: School Column, 3, 4; “His First Date,” 4; “The Cat and the Canary , 4; Property Manager, “Pierre Patel in. Virginia is often called the 1). A. R. girl. She goes into the teachers’ room third periods to get news for the B. F. II. S. school column. Or is it all for the column, Virginia? GEORGE ST. LAWRENCE General “Jeff “Silence ran be so deceiving Football, 4: Interclass Basketball, 4, 3; Junior Prom, 3. George is a quiet, reserved type of student until he gets out of school. Then you can’t tell what he’ll do next with the help of his partners in crime. George may be “knocking ’em down” in Cray’s alleys or “setting ’em up” in Whelans. JAMES SHAUGHNESSY General “Shaug” “ lore to lire in the suburbs ’ One of the boys from North Walpole who has a knack for getting along with everybody. He can usually be found inside of a Boys’ Club jacket, any- where in the vicinity of Whelans and North Walpole. His favorite sport is hunting—in the middle of the square.
