PAUL MC AULIFFE General Mae Sever trouble troub'e, till troub'e troub'es you Please don’t ever ask Paul what course he’s taking because we warn you you’ll be just as confused when you get through as when you started.

Here is the class Casanova. Sam is well known in every place within a radius of one hundred miles. He’s tall, good-looking, and, oh what a voice! Sam is another frequent visitor to Springfield. He says he goes for the ride, but we know differently. He has had many girls, and we wonder which he prefers —blondes, brunettes, or redheads. lie’s had his share of all.

Maybe some day when you’re listening to your radi», you’ll hear “Songs by Mercurio.’ ELSIE MILLS General Elsie My heart is true as steel Glee (’lub 1, ■£. Did you ever see a dream walking? That’s our Elsie from Westminster. She’s so small and sweet but ooh! When you see her, she always has some- thing to do. But she’s never in very much of a hurry. Right. Elsie? Just ask her about her “hero” and she'll tell you. W o? Why, Juny, of course. Elsie has a cute manner and good disp sition, which will get her a long way. She’s lovely to look at and very shy.

But there really is nothing to worryabout as a certain local ex-sailor has the situation well in hand. With your charming personality you are bound to have success wherever you go.

Hi T H E S A M P L E R EDWARD KISS ELL Genera' Eddie “.1 good sport is somebody worth while' Baseball 1, 2; J. V. Football 8; Basketball 1. Eddie is one of those quiet (???) boys from North Walpole. What Eddie does in his npare time, that is on his nights off from the Opera House, is bevond us, but we can bet that it isn’t spending a peaceful evening at home. When you hear roars of laughter issuing from the back of study hall, it’s just Eddie letting loose with another one of his masterpieces. How he can remember all those formulas in chemistry is beyond us, but he does it. With his determina- tion he is sure to go far. RUTH LAKE General “Huihie The silent girl is the best to listen to Softball 8; Basketball .8; Interclass Volleyball 8; Field Hockey 1; Chorus 2; Glee Club 8, 4; Operetta 8; Home Ec Club 2, 8. Kuth-with the soft voice and quiet manner. Yes, she may seem quiet but, when you aren’t looking, she really gets things done. Do you want to know anything about Peter the Great or perhaps the (lates of the French Revolution? Well, then, just consult Ruth, the history expert of the class. She is one of the few who always has iier homework done. But besides accomplishing this feat Ruth manages a busy life outside of school. We’re glad you’re graduating with us Ruth, and may you have success. SHIRLEY LAKE Commercial Skirl In the twinkling of an eye Interclass Basketball 4; B. F.; Interclass Hockey 1; Chorus 1, Robinson Seminary, Exeter, N. II. Do you know of a gal in our class who actually gets about the school quiet- ly? Well, in case you don’t know it’s Shirley, the gal who has the job of running from room to room every morning collecting those little pink slips of paper. How she manages to have so much pep at that time of the morning is beyond us. Shirl is always seen with sister Ruth. They prove that sisters really can get along together. Shirl is a competent secretary. Keep it up! 'm CHARLES LAM LEIX College Chuck Men of few words are the best men •L V. Basketball 8; Glee Club 2; Latin Club 1, 2; Spotlight Club 8, 1; Senior Hop 3; Sock Dance 8; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 8; Office Assist- ant 4. Being such a noisy class, it’s a wonder there is anyone as quiet as Chuck in it. Chuck is one of the more industrious boys of the class. He’s shy but has a mischievous eye by which you can tell he isn’t always so quiet. In chemistry he has proven to be one of the class’s leading chemists. Who knows maybe some day you’ll be famous. Sometimes we wonder what Dan will do without his star worker. Chuck is usually seen fixing some of the school’s property. Here’s luck to you, in your college career. BEVERLY LAMPHERE Commercial Rev Flirtation without intention (ilee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Football Formal 4; Sock Dance 3. Ah! Here’s our sweet gal with the Ipana smile who hails from Gageville. Bev has done a splendid job as drum majorette plus being one of the band’s greatest assets. She has had many love affairs, but at present a certain lad from over the river is in the limelight. Bev is another gal gifted with looks and personality. Both of these add up to a swell friend. Perhaps that’s why she has so many admirers.

IS THE S A M P L E R ERNEST MOORE General Ernie Cursed be he irhn mores my bones J. V. Football 3; Spotlight Club 4; Junior Sock Dance 3; “June Mad” 4. W'c often wonder if Ernie did I lie posing for “Sleepy” in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” We only hope you don’t fall asleep some night driving out through the pastures on your way home to Westminster. It’s pretty dark so late at night. Ernie makes frequent trips to neighboring towns. He's trying to convince us it’s just for the ride. Quit kidding us! The Moore-Stack- Currier combination is one to watch out for. They spell dynamite. Ernie is another fellow gifted with brains, looks and personality. With these assets plus being a swell sport, there’s no doubt what the future holds for him. ELAINE MORSE College Lanie Love gilds the scene, and iromen guide the plot Interclass Basketball I, t; Cheerleader 3, 4; Intergym Basketball 3, 4; Spanish Club 4, 3; Football Formal 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Sock Dance 3; Operetta 4; Secretary of Home Room 1, 3. Did we hear a familiar laugh? Oh, yes!! It’s Elaine telling her story of falling, face down, on a porch one dark night. She is the cute girl from Oage- ville who has set many a heart astir, whether it be from Ding Island or the Xnry. We hear Elaine has a hobby reducing by standing on her head. If you want to reduce, just go to Elaine; she has all the answers. Elaine has been one of the snappy cheerleaders for the past two years, along with having good scholastic standards. She is gifted with beauty, brains and personality. RICHARD MOULTON (icneral Dick Think in the morning, act in the noon, eat in the evening, sleep in the night Dramatic Club 3; Monitor 4; “Old Kentucky Garden”3; Play Staff 3. Here is the little guv who has the brains and ideas of a genius. In sociology Mose has given Mr. MacCarthy some baffling moments. No matter what the subject is, Mose seems to be an expert in it. Besides being a quiz kid, he has made many a class merry with his funny remarks. A class wouldn’t go by without some amusing incident in which Mose has the leading part. He is quite an industrious lad, holding down a job after school. Good luck! JEAN NAUCEDER General Jcanie Anything for a quiet life (ilee Club 2; “The Gypsy Rover” 2. With her pleasing personality and good nature, Jean has no trouble with the date situtation. “Variety is the spice of life, says she. Besides keeping the fellows from out-of-town happy, Jean finds time for other interests. We wonder why you’re always laughing! Let us in on the fun! And there’s plenty of it when Jean and Betty get together. Keep on being happy, Jean, and making others happy, too. SHIRLEY NOWERS Commercial Shirl Variety's the eery spice of life Interclass Basketball 3; Badminton 2; Volleyball 3; (ilee Club 1, i: Hi! Schooler 4; Sampler Typist 4; Monitor 4. There's no man shortage as far as Shirl’s concerned. Keep them guessing is her motto! Shirl is one of our cutest numbers from Westminster. With her smile, pleasing personality and dashing eyes she has made many friends. She is one of the best monitors on the system. The corridors will be lost next year without her smiles for everyone. Basketball and dancing are Shirl's favorite means of recreation. We know that whatever Shirley does in the future will be tops
