16 THE S A M P L E R WILLIAM COIT HOWE General Ugh” 4 • . gracious and a gallant Prince.” Football 4; Baseball 4; Basketball 4; Football Formal 4; The Divine Flora Don’t know him? No one can say that. Since Ugh came to us from Lebanon he has won many friends. The football squad certainly found out he was a much needed and valuable player. He seems to have his interests other than football, basketball or any sports. He is a “Borneo,” first class, and girls just seem to be his main interest. His laugh is well known to us all! because he almost giggles. More than once wires have been crossed be- tween his sister and his best friend. No one understands it except you, Uvh. Better watch out!! MARJORIE CHRISTINE JEANNOTTE General “Marge” “ The world belongs to the energetic.” Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; Kentucky Garden 2; Spanish Custom 8; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Librarian 2, 3, 4; The Divine Flora 4; Christmas Pageant 4; Faster Cantata 2; Cafeteria 2, 4. Marge is one of the vitality girls of the class. She never spends more than five seconds in any one spot. Even though she works several evenings a week, she still manages to be full of ginger in school. Marge is also a ski enthusiast, but spends most of her time carrying skis for Dutchie to break. If you have a few hours to waste, ask her about serving tea. She has a manner all her own. WINIFRED JENNIE JENNISON College “Winnie” “A finger in every pie.” Basketball 1; Band 1, 2; Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Latin Club 2; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Football Formal 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Christmas Dance 2; Hi-Schooler 2, 3; The Divine Flora 4; Sampler Board 4; Class Secretary 2, 4; Librarian 1, 2, 3, Head Librarian 4; Monitor 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Home Room Secretary 2; Captain of Curtis Campaign 4; Tea Dance 3. What would we do without Winnie? Four feet eleven and three quarter inches of the busiest girl you will ever find. She is either typing, stenciling, reading reports or worrying about something, not to mention her monitor post. (We hear that she has so much work to do some nights that she doesn’t have time to go home. So, she just stays over at Fitzie’s.) It’s a great place to be. North Walpole! From Winnie’s eagerness to please throughout these four years we do not feel sorry for any of her patients, but, for her own sake, we pray that hospital beds are never any taller. CORRINNE LOIS JOHNSON Commercial “Connie” “Conversation never sits easier than when mixed with laughter” Band 1, 2, 3; Majorette 1; The Divine Flora 4. Ballerina has nothing on this girl when it comes to dancing. Connie tells us never to live up in the hills because it makes it darn hard to get to school ou time, if you get there at all. Connie’s hobbies used to be reading, baby-sitting, notes written in class and traveling; now her hobbies are dancing, cribbage, keeping her blonde hair short and having Wednesday night poker games. Connie’s life is pretty much of a secret. We wonder what she does in her spare time. Plow the roads to Grafton? JOSEPH RAPHAEL JIRKOIC General “ ’’ “A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.” Basketball 1; S. A. B. 1; Junior Prom 8; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Senior Hop 8; Home Room Representative 2; Class President 4; (’lass Representative 4; Senior Play 4. Busy! Busy! Busy! That’s our Joe. Always on the rush to do some- thing. Besides holding down a job at Shaw’s he also found time to do a wonderful job as class president. Heaven only knows where the class would have been without him. His only interests seem to be women and horses. But then, as Joe says, what else is there? Joe wants to own a Dude ranch someday. We wonder whether the horses or the one he chooses to help him out will get the most attention. Our hats are off to the most popular boy in the class.

THE S A M P L E K JOAN MARIE HENNESSEY College Joanie” “ have no superfluous leisure.” Basketball 2, 3, 4; Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Or- chestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary and Treasurer Band 2, 3; Librarian 4; Student Con- ductor of Orchestra 4; Latin Club 2, 3; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3; Junior From 3; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler Business Manager 2, 3; Elmer and the Love Bug 1; Flay Night prompter 2, 3; Gypsy Rover 1; All State Band 2, 3 4; All New England Band 3, 4; D. A. R. Good Citizenship Girl 4; Girls State 3; Home Room Treasurer 1, 3; Class Treasurer 1; S. A. B. 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3, Fresident 4; Monitor 3, 4; Cafeteria Cashier 4; Sampler Board 4; Vice President of A. A. 4; Scholarship Medal 1, 3; Keene and Boston Fanel, Discussions 4. We give a toast to Joan whose high school career has really been a grand success. In addition to all of her other honors, she was unanimously voted the D. A. R. girl of 1948. She has been one of Mrs. Jones mainstays and we know she’ll leave a large gap in all of the varsity teams. The band will also be minus a star sax when she leaves school. Joau is one swell kid and we feel sure that New Rochelle has a real prize. WILLIAM GEORGE HODGE College “Bill” He couldn't lie if you paid him and he'd starve before he stole” Glee Club 1; Home Room Vice Fresident 3; An Old Kentucky Garden 1; Mathematics Award 3. The smartest boy in our class?? None other than “Bill.” When it comes to girls, he blushes; and during recitations, he’s bashful. Between his job and his homework, he doesn’t find much time for girls. Bill is so brainy that he walked off with the Math Medal last year. We ofteu wonder what happened at the Football Formal—it was all in fun, anyway. Mr. Davis only regrets that Bill won’t be around for another year. He thinks that this “mad scien- tist” has a fine start on his own atomic bomb! ERNEST WILLIAM HOGAN General “Bill” “Cards are the devil's books ” Football 2, 3; Home Room President 1; Divine Flora 4. Bill is one of the quiet boys in school and a regular member of “the gang” when he isn’t engaged iu work at the station. Another member of the Station Gang, Bill spends most of his time keeping the railroad running right. Party life has been a great strain on him; but then, the many attractions fouud at them were worth the effort. As for the future, our crystal ball sees Bill with a huge black cigar dictating letters to Jimmy Euo, his secretary, aud, as we look at the signature, we see Ernest Hogau, President of the North Walpole-B. F. Railway. ANN ELIZABETH HOULIHAN Commercial “Betty” It is a friendly heart that has plenty of friends” Cheerleader 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 4; Librarian 2, 3; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal 4; Senior Hop 3; Christmas Dance 2; Hi! Schooler Typist 4. Associate Editor-in-chief 2; Elmer and the Love Bug 1; The Divine Flora 4; Secretary Freshman Class 1; Treasurer of Home Room 2; Monitor 3. Cafeteria Bookkeeper 1. Can she dance? Can she cheer? Is she popular? Silly questions!!! Tell us Betty how does it feel to be tops in the eyes of a certain he-man from U.V. M. They tell us you had a wonderful time at the Kake Walk. Is it the school or Jack that left the gleam iu your eye when you came home? The team really had morale when Betty started yelling—“Fight! Boys—Fight”!!! She has been a great help to Miss Santamaria and to Mr. Holland, as she was a super commercial student. Congratulations for being Best-Dressed Girl. JOHN JEREMIAH HOULIHAN College “Uoulie” A name far sounded among men for noble deeds.” Freshman Basketball 1; Baseball 1; Junior Varsity Football, Basketball 1; Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3; Monitors 3, 4; S. A.B. 1; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, S;The Divine Flora 4;(Juiet Please 4; Antic Spring 3; New England Drama Festival 3; Prize Play 3, 4; President of the A. A. 4; Dir- ector of Junior High Tournament 4; Assistant Director of Junior High Tourna- ment 3; Home Room President 1; Boys' State 3. Sports, Sports, Sports. All of Houlie’s life revolves around sports (or Women). He was an admirable player iu football plus being a three-letter man. Houlie was elected to Boys’ State last year. In the political field he has held many offices. He certainly did a swell job as Captain of the monitor system and his efficient handling of the Junior High Tournament was very commend- able. As for his interest in the opposite sex, it can be expressed as “Romeo.” However, interests seem to be centered lately, right? To sum up Houlie, he is a swell fellow and is one guy who won’t have to slide through life.

T H E S A M P L E R 17 PETER JOSEPH KARNACEWICZ General Pete9 “He uus a scholar, uml a ripe and good one.” Baseball 1; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 1; Discussion Group 4; Home Room Vice President 2. Pete is another of the fabulous North Wapolitcs. Pete is always getting into trouble but not on his own accord. Somebody starts something and he gets the blame. The shining star of Mrs. Lamson’s history class, he always seems to have the right answers. Pete is one of the members of the Board of Improvements where the school and the pupils both try to get improved. Pete is terribly bashful around girls, but then time will tell. VERONICA THERESA KARNACEWICZ General “Ronnie “ Just being happy is a fine thing to do. Softball 3; Basketball 3; Home Economics Hub 2, 3; Freshman Reception 2. Ronnie has a smile and personality that win her many friends. She is a quiet girl from North Walpole, but has her interests and ambitions the same as everyone else. She is a good friend and a real sport. She seems to like her job at the State Theatre very much; we wonder if it’s the job or the help that has the biggest interest. Maybe you can tell us, Ronnie. We’ve enjoyed having you with us and know that whatever happens you will always make the most of it. So, happy landings to you in the future JOAN WINIFRED KELTON College Joanic I may be as good as I please, if I please to be good Basketball 2; 1 lee Club 1, 2, 4; Special Glee Club 4; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Spanish Custom 2; Home Room Secretary 2. Fiver heard of Athens, Vt? Maybe not. I bet you’ve heard of Joan, though. Of course you may have thought that she lived at Sully’s because she’s there so much of the time. Don’t be fooled. She still calls Athens home. Joan, at first glance, appears to be quiet—that is, if you haven’t seen her with her girl friends. She’s been a loyal member of the class and of the Glee Club for four years. One of our star football players escorts her to most of B. F.’s social events. You don’t do bad for a farm gal, do you, Joan? The nursing profession will be getting the best when you arrive!!! MARY JANE KING General Mary It's nice to be natural when you're naturally nice. Band 2, 3; Orchestra 2; Glee Club 3, 4; Hi! Schooler typist 4. Mary King, or is it Mary Gadreault? It’s hard telling. Mary and Jean are inseparable. They share everything but boy friends. When it conies to that, they have an agreement. Jean has B. F. and Mary takes charge of all the ones in Saxtons River. Confidentially, the odds are better there. V. A., you know-. Mary’s other interests run to music. She plays a mean clarinet and can always be found in the front row of the Glee Club. WALTER MICHAEL K1SSELL General Walt The cheerful man's a king. Walter is a rugged blond boy from Westminster. His favorite sport is skiing on the hills, but Walt says that is where all people ski. His “rattler ford” brings him to school every day and has done so for the past four years. He is a bashful boy ami hasn’t much to do with the girls; so therefore we just see him during the school hours. The reason Walt is always late for school is because there is always something wrong with his car. On the side he is a mechanic, to' ! His deepest ambition seems to be work. Wonder if farm life can be that bad!!!
