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.

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.

T II E S A M V L E R n FRANCIS EDWARD WILLIAMS General Frannies “Little strokes fall great oaks.” Basketball 1; Baseball 1; Glee Club 4; Spotlight Club 2. 3, 4; Hi!Schooler 2, 3; A Message from Kufu 3. Here’s a guy that swept right through High School. Yes, Franny is one of Dan’s Diligent Dust Chasers. Fran has put in a long time on the janitor squad. His only regret is that chemistry class was all in vain. Despite the fact that he and Stick spent all their time trying to develop a formula, they have yet to find anything that will keep Mr. Davis’ windows clean. Franny is also one of our boys in khaki. We hear his toughest assignment to date has been guarding the monkey cage at the Sportsman s Show. LAWRENCE KENNETH WILLIAMS College Lolly A nickname is the hardest stone that the devil can throw at a man” Junior Varsity Football 2, 3; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra 2,3, 4; All-New England Orchestra 4; Latin Club 2, 3;Spotlight Club 1,2, 3, 4; Home Room President 1; Class President2; Class Treasurer 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Sophomore Hobo Dance 2; Hi! Schooler Editor 2, 3; Elmer and the Love Bug 1; Antic Spring 3; Senior Play 4; Monitor 3, 4; Editor of the Senior Sampler 4; Oratorical Contest 3, 4; Journalism Medal 3; Junior Rotarian 4; Keene and Boston Panel Discussions 4. We doubt if Lolly has ever had a decent night’s sleep since he started his freshman year. No need of explanation; just look at the above list of activi- ties. If you ever want to own the autograph of a punster who has still man- aged to stay alive, go up to Lolly and ask him for his. Not only will he give it to you (here’s hoping you can read it!) but also he’ll probably draw you into a three-hour conversation. Don’t get us wrong. He s great fun when it comes to keeping anything going—and we don’t mean maybe!! THE MONITORS All alone at their posts, the monitors stand. They’re really dressed up to “beat the band.' Their hair is combed, their clothes arc pressed They have all had a good night’s rest. There’s the sound of the bell Crowds approach as if headed for battle The kids walk, run, and yell They sound more like a stampede of cattle. Someone screams, Hurry ; Another yells, “Wait.” They continue to laugh, they fight, they scurry. But they get to class without being late. The crowds have passed by; The monitors recover as well as they can. They shout to the sky, “Our jobs ought to be performed by Superman.” JOAN HENNESSEY IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER It’s the little things that matter. And put us in a gale; You will sit on top the mountain. But you will not on the nail. Mary sat in the moonlight Left alone by women and men; And murmured, over and over, “I’ll never eat onions again.” She doesn’t drink, and will not smoke She doesn’t spend her dimes for coke; She doesn’t dance, and doesn’t pet. To tell the truth, she can’t walk yet. Roses are red, Violets are blue. An orchid is ten bucks. Will daisies do? Tell me not in mournful numbers Pretty girls are what they seem; Glimpse a co-ed while she slumbers. That’s a nightmure, not a dream. Your complexion is of such a delicate vein. Chances are, it conies off in the rain. Some people say that virtue is its own reward; Those people usually are virtued, and bored.
