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!

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.

T II E S A M P L E H 25 MARGARET AGNES SULLIVAN College “Sully” “Nothing is impossible to a milling heart” (ilcc Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Special (lice Club 2, 3; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Hi! Schooler 2, 3; The Happy Journey 8; The Gypsy Hover 1; Ohl Kentucky Garden 3; Home Hoorn Treasurer I, 2; Old Spanish Custom 2. Did you say the quiet girl there in study hall? Oh, no! We said Peggy! Whenever she’s around, you know it. Peggy’s got personality! Laughter and looks come in there, too. And incidentally, she’s always on the go- making it to school on time, that is. We see, too, that she has done right well holding down her place in Glee Club. Hut we can’t, solve that St. Albans mystery. Why don’t you ask her for more of the details? See if you can get another answer besides, “Mind your own business.” We hear her ambition is Nursing. With her winning smile and willing hand, we know she’ll be a grand success. DONNA GWEN TAYLOR General “Don” “Another flood of words, a very torrent.” (tlee Club 1; Home Economics Club 1, 2; Hi! Schooler 2, 3. Are you looking for a good time? Do you want to know someone who is full of fun? Someone who always has an answer? Do you want to sit back and listen to someone ramble on and on? Then look for Donna, the cute blonde Senior, the gal with nursing as an ambition, writing poetry as a pastime and love as a habit. Let’s ask a certain nice alumnus about her poems (and love)! This is a young lady who has ability, personality, ambition, responsibility, looks and brains. Donna, you don’t need luck; a combination like that wil| get you anywhere! PAUL EDWARD THOMAS General “Pel” “ came—tho’ not on time.” Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1; Basketball 1, 2, 4; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Divine Flora 4; Captain of Curtis Campaign 4; Quiet Please 4; Prize Play 4; Elmer and the Lovebug 1. Paul is the boy who gives the office headaches every morning by trudging into school during second period. The reason for this is that, before school, he handles the special deliveries at the post office. You’ve probably seen him pumping his bike and carrying a package in that enormous basket of his. Paul has found time for acting, too. He took part in the Senior Play and was award- ed “Best Actor” on Play .Night. In addition, he went with the Prize Play to Springfield and did a topnotch performance there in the role of an Ozark Mountaineer. He also managed to find time for first string football. With all these activities, it’s a wonder Paul hasn’t ended up with a nervous break- down. BEATRICE ELLEN TIDD General “ feu” “Light or dark, short or tall, she sets a trap to snare them all” Softball 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; Ohl Spanish Custom 2; Home Economics Club 1, 2, 4; Football Formal 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 2; Cheerleader 2, 3, 4. A smile for everyone and a pleasing personality are the ingredients that go to make up Bea. If ever you feel like having some fun and a good laugh to go with it, just call on Bea. If she can’t take your sorrows away, nobody can!! Bea’s not one to worry about her dancing ability—she doesn’t have to. Dur- ing her four years in B. F. II. S., you may be sure Bea has been around. Per- haps you’ve seen her around with the other cheerleaders; and she does a grand job of it, too. Next year’s cheering squad will have a tough time finding her substitute. MARGARET MARY TORREY General I'cyyy” “She s a woman of few words, hut she keeps repeating them” Home Economics Club 2; Junior Prom 3; Christmas Dance 3; Hi! Schooler 1; Librarian 1. Peggy is one of the many seniors who make it to Room 11 just in the nick of time. Even if she is late, Peggy doesn’t care. There’s always an excuse, like a too-long freight train, for instance. Peggy is planning to buy a half interest in the Chimes Cafe. She hasn’t made up her mind what to do after graduation when she isn’t in the Chimes, that is. Whatever it is, here’s to luck when she crosses that bridge.
