THE SAMPLER 23 ORRIN HIRAM RILEY General “Jimmie “ Where there's life, there's hope. Spotlight Club 4; Freshman Reception 3; Football Formal 4; Junior Prom Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 2; Senior Play Stage, 4. Calling all cars, calling all cars. Green car advancing down Henry Street. Driver»dark and handsome, but not so tall,suave,carefree), name, Orrin Riley, alias “Sunny Jim.” Wanted dead or alive, but be sure to get him alive, be- cause he’s one grand fellow. Jim helped keep the Junior formals going by being on the refreshment committee every time, and doing a good job, too. He is now reported to be working every day at the A. P. Store. Doing what? Cutting up meat. Better watch out for this fellow. To conclude this report on O. II. Riley, we use one more word, a “humdinger” of a guy. BARBARA ANN ROY College Barb An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest Drum Majorette 3, 4; Glee Club 4; tatin Club 2, 3; Junior Prom 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3; Divine Flora 4; Monitor 4; Office Secretary 4; Barb is another one of those gals who hails from Westminister. She is also one of Mr. Bush’s right hand girls when it comes to twirling. By the way, did you ever see her twirl with two batons? Quite a stunt if you can master it. Barb, what do you do all summer? You certainly don’t stay in Westminister. Did we hear someone mention Hampton Beach and being a waitress? Beach life must be interesting by the way Barb talks. » EDWARD CHARLES SHATTUCK General Eddie “ never felt the kiss of love, nor maiden's hand in mine. Sophomore Dance 2; Discussion Group 4; Junior Rotarian 4. Here he is girls—tall, good natured, hard worker and unattached. Come early and avoid the rush. In the famous book, “Confessions of Psychology One,” Ed is listed as a woman hater, but personally we don’t believe it. As for the hard working part, we’re sure of that. Ed has been gracing the A P vege- table counter for as loug as we can remember. Getting back to women, let us hope that some peach will turn up soon. DAVID FRANCIS SHAUGHNESSY General Dugan “ Wild natures need wise curbs. Basketball 4; Football 2, 4; Junior Varsity Basketball 1, 2; Baseball 1, 2; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3. Whenever the language is flying thick and fast, there you’ll find Dugan. Whether it’s sports, or just another argument, he is right in the middle of it . You could call him u walking sports encyclopedia. He knows all the answers. Dugan has shown his ability in sports, and his main game is basketball. He can really handle that ball, and in passing he’d fool anybody. He and Law- rence Williams are buying out the cafeteria. They have a swell system. Of course it’s Dugan’s idea. “Willy, you pay, and I’ll eat. It works, too. Dugan is well liked by many, ami should be successful in the Navy next year. BAILEY MUNN SHORE General Bail Wake not a sleeping wolf. Spotlight Club 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 3; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 2; The Divine Flora 4; Discussion Group 4. It must be good to be in hot water on cold mornings. If you would like to find out, ask Bailey; he’s in hot water three-fourths of the time. It would be all the time except that he usually makes his grand entrance into school about a half hour later than the others. Although his stage experience in High School was limited to one line: “Flora, the frosting is hardening, the teachers still claim that he’s always acting. His homework is usually undone, but, if he talks long enough, the teachers might forget to pick up the papers. After all, tomorrow is another day. All kidding aside. Bailey is a great fellow and has lots of friends.

M THE S A M P L E R CARROLL ALTON PERKINS College “Luke” ‘7 ayreejwith no man a opinion», I hate my own.' Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2; Glee Club 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Divine Flora 4; Monitors 2, 3, 4. Hey, kids, look out! Get out of the way! Perkins is coming. Yes, you can always expect to find Carroll wherever the confusion is. (Csually he’sit.) In his own “Quiet” way he has worked on every play, been stationed on every monitor post and been in every activity since he landed in school. In addition to all these he also works after school and holds up his end of the National Guard. Perk, the man with two answers to every question, will find no trouble in finding a permanent position in the future. THOMAS JOHN PERKINS General Tommy A little integrity i» better than any career.” Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Foot ball Formal 4. 'Pommy has a wanderlust mind. He likes to travel anywhere, any time, as long as there is something new to be seen and something new to take pictures of. Once Tom sets his mind to do something, he does it. We hear that he has finished a book on the art of taxi driving, though rumors have it that he al- most finished off the taxi. The office holds no terrors for Tom; he has been through it all. Tom’s main interest is photography and, when school is over, he will probably take it up as a career. MARY MARGARET PORTER General Mary “ There i» mischief in this female Softball 2, Captain 3, 4; Junior Varsity Basketball 2; Basketball 4; Tennis 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Gypsy Rover 1; Play Night, Stage 4; Freshman Play, Stage, 1; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; The Divine Flora 4; Librarian 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Hi! Schooler 2, 3; Home Economics Club 2, 3, 4. Noise, confusion, a group of people and who’s in the center? Guess again, noneother than Mary Margaret. What’s the matter this time, a lost billfold or boot or did someone tear up your only dollar bill? Did you ever see anyone who could play basketball and also keep the team in stitches at the same time? Well, that’s our Mary again. Just ask Mr. McCarthy why the floor is worn out in Global Class. Could it be from ehauging Mary’s seat? JOHN MICHAEL PRENDERGAST General “Pendy” “Some people get results, others get consequences.” The class of 48’s gift to the army. Pendy is one of the sharpshooters of the National Guard. We don’t know whether he intends to make a career of the army or not, but we’d advise it by all means. Girls, he’s just handsome in a uniform. Basketball is one of Pendy’s accomplishments and he was really outstanding in the interclass games. He also played on the Company E team. As to his other pastimes, we can only remark, ‘‘Good Hunting.” DONALD ROBERT REES General “Don “His heart runs away with his head.” Donny came to us in our Junior year from Springfield Tech, Springfield, Massachusetts. He is always out for a good time and has a great deal of in- terest in many of the surrounding towns. The biggest attraction, though, seems to be in Brattleboro. Or is it Springfield, or is it Windsor? Oh nuts, we give up. Besides keeping abreast of his school work, he is holding down a job in the local First National store. If anyone wants to find Donny, just look for a roller skating rink and you will find him, and with a rabbit's foot on each skate. Just what do they represent?

Schooler 2; Cheerleading 2, 3, 4. A truckload of smiles and a wonderful personality describes our Paulie. If ever you hear a muttering sound in the back of Room 11, you will know- wit bout turning around that it is Paulie trying to teach a few of the surround- ing kids our new cheers. She does all right with the opposite sex also, but can’t seem to settle down with one. More fun, huh, Paulie!!!! She also showed her ability as one of the peppiest cheerleaders B. F. H. S. has ever had. Keep smiling, Paulie!!! JOAN DOROTHY SPRAGUE Commercial “Joanne ' “Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit' Glee Club 2, 3; Sampler Typist 4. It must be great fun to get up so early on cold winter mornings and then ride in three different vehicles before reaching the final destination—school. Joan can’t see how anyone’s breakfast could go long without being digested after that erackerbox they call a bus. You don’t mean to tell me she drives a tractor? Where have you been? Of course she drives a tractor, although she says she prefers driving the truck. Say, if you hear that someone wants a neat efficient secretary, just call Joan. We know that she will be happy because we know Joan. JOSEPH RAYMOND STAMBO General “Joe “Past hope, past cure, past help! . It has been said that Joe likes the women. Could that be true? He is often seen sitting with the girls when he should be doing his job as usher at the Opera House. Joe’s chief hobby is hunting and spare time finds him blasting away on the Westminster flats. His one ambition is to have a business of his own when he gets out of school. Here’s to it, Joe. RIC HARD WARREN STICKNEY General “Stick “The foremost man of all this icorld.” Junior Varsity Football 2; Football 3, 4; Junior Varsity Baseball 2; Latin Club 2; Hi! Schooler 1, 2; The Divine Flora 4; Student Advisory Board 3, 4; Vice President of Class 3; Monitor 3, 4. Stick is the “Mountain Boy” from Pleasant Valley, the guy who’s satisfied to be kept on the farm. He is by no means a hermit, for he comes into town quite often. Rich is going to U. V. M. to take up the Agricultural Course there. No one knew he had such football shoulders, until the Senior Play. No small w onder, when the boy has three years of gridiron glory to his credit. With all the scientific new-fangled ideas he’ll learn up to U. V. M., Sticky ought to have an ideal farm, some day. SUZANNE SHIRLEY ST. PETERS General “Sue “Laugh yourself into stitches.' Spanish Club 2, 3; Latin Club 1, 2; Hi! Schooler Typist 3. Here is the girl who wears a sober face until something strikes her funny; then you’d better watch out! Lately she has become interested in basketball games (the out-of-town players, you know !). When she gets excited at these games, you’d better move over; otherwise, don’t say you weren’t warned. If you smell something burning, it’s not anything in cafeteria; it’s Suzie thinking! The greatest of her problems is trying to get to California. But, don’t worry; if you know Suzie, she will. Her main interests seem to be there. Wonder what they can be!
