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.

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!

4(i T HE SAMPLE R BETTY ANN TROMBLEY Commercial “Betty Ann “Theres music in the air (iIcc Club I, 2, 3, 4; Special Glee Club 3, 4; Gypsy Rover 1; An Obi Spanish Custom 3; All-State Chorus 4; Librarian 3; Sampler Typist 4; Hi! Schooler Typist 4. If you hear a high sweet soprano coming from the ranks of Miss Bedell’s (ilee Club, you’ll know it’s Betty who’s singing. Rain or shine, with or with- out her numerous colds, this little girl has sung in just about every Grange Hall in Windham County. With a voice like that, it’s no wonder she’s been asked by them time and time again. Besides excelling in singing, she is one of Miss Santamaria’s stand-bys in typing. Betty is also willing to share a sob story about the boyfriend any time. If you ever need sympathy, here’s the person to come to. MARGARET ANN WALSH General nMarg “A companion that is cheerful is worth gold. Basketball 2, 3, 4; Softball 2, 3, 4, Manager 3; (ilee Club 1, 2, 4; Band 1; All-State Chorus 4; All-New England Chorus 4; Home Economics (’lub 1; Librarian 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! School- er 2, 3; Gypsy Rover 1; An Old Kentucky Garden 3; Prompter—Play Night 4; Divine Flora 4; Tea Dance 2; Monitor 4. Marg is the girl who always has a joke to tell—she’ll be glad to tell you one any time. She is also one of the girls who fought so hard and so successfully on Mrs. Jones’ basketball team. We often wonder what B. F. H. S. would have done without her. Ask her sometime about the fun they had on those basket- ball trips. A downright good alto, Marg is a member of that fortunate trio of Glee Clubbers who went to the All-New England Music Festival this year. There’s the luck of the Irish for you! Always something doing for you, isn’t there, Marg? Her ambition is to be a gym teacher and girls’ coach—here’s hoping she reaches her goal. WILLIAM MAYNE WAREING General “Bill “His unll be done Junior Varsity Football 2; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Cafeteria 1, 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Hi! Schooler 1, 2; Elmer and the I ove Bug 1; The Divine Flora 4; Monitor 4; Student Man- ager of Curtis Campaign 4. The “wine, woman, and song’’ boy of our class, Bill is a great one with the ladies. Poor guy, he doesn’t get much sleep. You see, his ambition is to hold down a job in the Baggage Room, and at the same time, keep the girl friend busy. Quite an undertaking! Bill made a good crooner in the Senior Play, even if he didn’t have to sing a note! One of the more active leaders of the class, he did great work with his numerous ideas on our formal dances and the Curtis Campaign. A grand fellow’, you won’t find a nicer guy to pal around with. BARBARA JEAN WHITCOMB General Barb A merry, dancing, laughing time. Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; Divine Mora 4; Cafeteria 1, 2, 3; Librarian 3, 4; Home Room Representative 3. Barb’s that brunette bombshell from off the New Terrace, the gal with the very look of Irish deviltry in her eyes. Wherever there’s laughter and fun, you’ll find her right in the middle, laughing the loudest. She loves to hold down the heavy end of any argument and usually wins, too. It’s hard to see where all that pep comes from, especially since dancing is her number-one hobby! But, it’s understood that Barb has no trouble with boys, in tow’n or out. No wonder, for she always promises to be loads of fun, whatever the situation may be. What with her cute ways and that Irish look, it’s easy to see how she manages to be so popular. BERENICE ELLEN WILLARD General “Bernie’’ “Because is a woman's reason. Basketball 1, 2, 3 4; Softball 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2; Monitor 4; Librarian 2; Football Formal 4. Blonde hair, flashing smile, friendly disposition and talent all rolled up into one swell girl. Berenice? Why, natch! She is one of Mrs. Jones’ most valuable basketball players; she cuts quite a figure out there on the floor. Name any sport and you’ll find her out in front with the best. Mention Boston to Berenice and she is off on her favorite subject. Her secret ambition is to own a car—shc has to have some way of getting to Rockingham. After commence- ment, B. F. H. S. will surely miss this bundle of sharp personality.
