1G T IlE S A M P L E R JANE MERRIFIELD Scientific “Janie “ You cant hare loo much of a good thing” Interclass Basketball, 1; Basketball, 2, 8, 4; Softball, 3, 4; (ilee Club, 1, 2; Orchestra, 1, 2; Band, 1, 2; Dramatics Club, 4; Junior From, 3; Junior Music Committee, 3; Assembly Committee, 1. Flay Night, 4; Senior Flay Staff, 4; Latin Club, 3; Hi-Schooler, 3; Sampler, 8, 4; Girls’ State Governor, 3; All- State Band. 1; Monitor, 4; Chairman S. A. B., 4; Coach, 4; Student Librarian, 3. Governor of Girls’ State, I). A. R. Girl, Student Council Chairman, main- stay of the basketball team, and a swell kid all rolled into one—that’s Jane. No time for fun? Don’t be silly, even with the present date shortage, she never has to worry. (Except when the fleet’s in, and the Navy department hands out leaves to two of the current competitors at the same time.) Pat- riotic as well as popular, St. Luke’s is her choice, and the nursing profession has a prize candidate. ELIZABETH MERRILL Scientific “Betty “When ice hare matched our rackets to these bails Interclass Basketball, 1; Basketball, 2, 8, 4; Softball, 3, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, President, 8; Orchestra, 1, 2; Glee Club, 1; All-State Band, 1; SpotlightClub, 3, 4; Secretary A. A., 3: Junior From, 3; Thanksgiving Ball, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; “Guess Again” Staff, 4; “Dweller in the Dark- ness,” 4; Monitor, 4; Secretary S. A. B., 4; Girls’ State, 3. When Mrs. Jones issued a call for first string forwards, Betty answered— with dividends. This wasn’t the first time—athletics are her specialty. Dramatics run a close second, and Betty’s a top noteher in both. It seems that Shaw’s drug store is considering offering her half-interest in the business. How about that, Bet? Never mind, we all think that’s a slick rendezvous, haven’t you seen most of us there? For an all-round good sport, as well as a cute kid and a go-getter, you can call on Betty any time. ROY MINER General “Pop “ What good sport is out of town today? Football, 1; Baseball, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4, President 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Music Festival, 1, 3; School Column, 3; Junior From, 3; Monitor, 4. A musical flash! Keep up the good work. Pop. In time you’ll be a second Benny Goodman. Roy’s a very likable fellow, always willing to help out any worthy cause—doing a thorough job of it', too. Like most men, he has a healthy interest in the opposite sex—centering, it seems, around Springfield. Luck to a boy who is definitely destined to succeed! DONALD MOREAU Scientific “Don “ And irhen a lady's in the case You know all other things give place Football, 1; Basketball, 1, 2; Band, 1, 2, 8, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 8; All-State Band, 1; Jazz Band, 2; Latin Club, 1; Junior Music Committee, 3; School Column, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; “The Knave of Hearts,” 3; “ Dweller in the Darkness,” 4; School Patrol, 1, 2. Don is the guy you can’t help looking twice at. That’s because you’ve never seen anyone quite so tall—and it takes his pal “Buster” to prove it. He danced his way to a title all through school, and played his way to fame as one of the charter members of the publicized “Jazz Band.” Lately, he joined the ranks of the famous North Walpolites, and we’re sure the U. S. Navy will more than appreciate this representation. If he receives his orders before graduation, he will receive his diploma on completion of his boot training.

THE SAMPLER 15 THELMA LOCKWOOD Scientific “Thd” “ A com panion that is cheerful is worth gold” Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; Band, 3. 4; Secretary, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra, 3; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2; Music Committee, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Ball, 4; Junior Prom, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; Play Night Staff, 4; “Guess Again,” 4; “Little Nell,” 3; Monitor 4: Tli- Schooler, 3, 4; Sampler Board. 4; Student Librarian, 3. Although she was voted best-natured girl, Thel’s remarkable disposition and her big grin speak well for themselves. If she looks as though she were aimlessly going nowhere, don’t let her fool you. She’s usually up to some- thing, maybe it’s mischief. Thelma doesn’t blush easily, but just ask her to demonstrate the “Uplift Walk.” Take an even temper, add beauty, brains and personality—and what more could anyone want? ALOIS LOVELL General “Aldie ''Let men sup what e'er the; wi'l Woman, woman rules them still. Interclass Basketball, 4; Glee Club, 1,2; Band, 1, 4; Sophomore Octet, 2; Home Economic Club, 4; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; Junior Music Committee, 3; Hi-Schooler, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; “Little Nell,” 3; “Back of the Yards,’ 4; “Guess Again,” 4; Monitor, 4. The liveliest kid in the Senior class—that’s Aldie! Her love affairs and her hair cuts have kept us entertained from the freshman year right up until now. Aldis lias talent plus when it comes to acting, but ask for her own personal opinion of her basketball ability. Between figuring out a way to get home, and keeping track of Scuggs, this little blonde leads a busy life. MARIE MAPFEO COMMERCIAL “Maffeo “ Brevity is the soul of urii Interclass Basketball, 3; Octet, 2; Glee Club, 2, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; School Column, 3; “Rich Man, Poor Man,” 4; Monitor, 4. Always moving, talking, making noise, Marie is the girl who wears out her shoes walking from the high school to the paper mill. It must be quite a job to rate your precious ration coupon! Joining the Waves? They need good secretaries! You and the Navy have something in common anyway, haven’t you? EDITII MERCURIO General “ Edie “Cheerfulness, sir, is the principal ingredient in the composition of health” Glee Club, 1, 2; Home Economic Club, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Thanksgiving Ball, 4; “Guess Again” Staff, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3. Comes a school vacation, and off she goes to Boston. Is it really to see your aunt, Edith? Oh, now—honestly! One of the most willing workers in the class, she’s on hand for every formal dance, doing all the little jobs no one else can find time for. Besides being the decoration chairman’s right-hand man, Edie is one of the most promising art students in school.

T IIES A M P L E It 17 JOHN MOULTON General “Moses” “ What man dare, I dare” ‘‘Guess Again,” 4; Dramatics Club, 4. “Sol, Sol Messer!” Pardon us, wrong again, but the effect is the same— Moses comes a-runnin’. We never knew he could act, but after “Guess Again,” there’s no doubt in our minds. We intend to declare a legal holiday in his honor, the day he hands in his General Math,—finished! No hard feelings, Moses, we agree with you completely, we just never had the courage to say so! Cheer up, those long work hours will amount to something, wait and see—you’ll own the Creamery yet ! NANCY MULLEN Scientific “Nan’’ “ Pray heaven for a human heart” Interclass Basketball, S; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-Pres., 3, Treas., 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4: Spotlight Club, 4; Junior Music Committee, 3; Play Nile Staff, 4; “Guess Again,” 4; Monitor, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3; Girls’ State, 3. If you meet a breeze that says “Excuse me,”that’s Nan. Another four- year veteran of both band and orchestra, and property manager for heaven- only-knows-how-many plays, she’s never too busy to smile and help you out, willingly. All this time she’s been quietly capturing an honor, and that, in our opinion, calls for plenty of concentration and ability. FRANCIS NOWERS General “ Red” “ Less noise, less noise” Junior Music Committee, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Play Staff, 4. Red is a living memorial to the man who said “Never a dull moment.” When a teacher shouts at someone, you’re safe to bet that Red is the victim. He could be innocent, but with that fiery red hair and infectious grin, lie’s the logical suspect. You can usually find him driving around town at all hours, and not alone, either. Take it from here, Franny! JANE O’BRIEN Commercial “Jane” “As merry as the day is long” Basketball, 4: Interclass Basketball, 3, 4; Softball, 3. 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Orchestra, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Hi-Schooler, 3. The quiet, dark-haired girl in study hall? No, no! We said “Jane.” Several times this year she obeyed the ref’s whistle on the basketball floor, and does that gal swing a mean bat! She has become an almost permanent fixture in Fletchers’, and without her help, we’d have been lost more than once. Music seems to be her chosen career all the luck in the world, Jane.
