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!!!

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.

18 T H E S A M P L E R LEAH DORA KNAPP Commercial “Lee” “A daughter of the gods, divinely fa , and most divinely fair ” Basket hull 2, 3, 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 2, 3, 4; Monitor 3, 4, Lieutenant 4; Ciris’ State 3; Class Sec- retary 3; Student Advisory Board 3, 4; Senior Sampler 4; Senior Play 4; All State Basketball Team 4. Leah joined our class in her freshman year, and since then she has become popular with just about everyone. For two years Lee has been a member of the S. A. B. Besides this, she has served on many activity committees, and her efforts on these have been largely appreciated. At Girls’ State she received the title of Lieutenant Governor; you may be sure that this is no mean achieve- ment. Many of the girls’ basketball games were won because of Leah’s height and accuracy in making baskets. With all these accomplishments, Lee ought to get SOMEWHERE in this world!! WILLIAM THOMAS KURKCL College “Kurk” “The man that blushes is not quite a brute ” Football 3, 4; Track 4; Spotlight Club 4; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; The Divine Flora 4; Monitor 4; Home Room President 3. Here’s a man you can tell a mile off, if he’s blushing. When a laughing matter becomes embarrassing to Kurk, he blushes even to the back of his ears. We suppose that is a good sign, although it gives you away sometimes. He was outstanding on the football line and the proprietor of a famous lodge. Who would have known that such a place existed in the hills of Westminster??? As for the opposite sex his interests go from the Freshman to Senior girls. Kurk plans to go to U. V. M. next year. We will remember him as a swell classmate and a fellow that no one had any trouble getting along with!!!! ROSE MARGARET LAWLOR College “Rose” “Success treads on the heeJs of every right effort.” Basketball 2; Glee Club 1; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Band 3, 4; All- New England Band 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 2. 3, 4; Freshman Reception 4; Tea Dance 3; Backward Dance 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3; Monitor 3, 4; Sampler Board 4; Student Advisory Board 4; Vermont Youth Forum 4; Home Room Secretary 2; Home Room Representative 3; Scholarship Award 2. Rose is one of the brightest girls of the Senior class and is well liked by all. She is quiet and friendly, always ready to help someone. She was active in sports and a member of the Band for four years. Rose was a big help in the business department of the Senior Sampler. In addition to all her activities, for the past few years. Rose has been a “star fizzician” behind Fletcher’s soda fountain. Nursing at St. Elizabeth’s seems to be her chosen career. We all know she’ll make a good nurse. MARY AGNES LONG College “Mary Agnes” “As merry as the day is long.” Glee Club 3, 4; Latin Club 2; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Special Glee Club 3, 4; Spanish Club 2, 3; Sampler Board 4; An Old Spanish Custom 3; Quiet Please 4; Divine Flora 4; All-State Chorus 4. Here comes that girl with that pleasant smile for everyone. Y’es, it’s Mary, or should we say Kilroy? Incidentally, where did you get that nick- name? With a real flair for dramatics, Mary took part in the operetta and came out with a brogue that was straight from the “old sod.” (It must have been difficult.) Since the Junior year she’s been involved in one activity after another. Music, Dramatics, School Paper—she’s found time for them all. It’s a wonder she stopped long enough to graduate. JUNE ELIZABETH LOWELL General “June” “A well-bred silence always at command.” (ilee Club 1, 3, 4. June is another one of the Southern Belles—that is, from Westminster. June seldom exercises her lung power. In fact the only time we ever hear her is in Glee Club. Although she usually skips out right after school, we hear by way of the grapevine that her outside life is well taken care of. Her post- graduation ambition is hairdressing.
