24 T Ii E S A M P L E R GORDON TOUSSAINT General Buddy” All or nothing at all” (Ilee Club, 4. Ruddy is the belle of the bookkeeping class, 7th period. We wonder why Irene usually gets the same answers that he does? By the way, did Irene get anywhere with those dancing lessons she gave you? Buddy’s going to be in the Army or the Navy for a while. And he already has a good start in a career if he intends to be an undertaker, flood luck, in the future, in all you “un- dertake.” DOROTHY TROMBLEY General “ Dottie” Saddle your dreams before yon ride them” Glee Club, I, 3, 4; Bellows Falls Glee Club 1; “Old Kentucky Garden” 4.
