A. 4; Monitor Assembly 4; I). A. It. Good Citizenship Girl 4; Junior High Tourna- ment 4; Freshman Reception 4. Marge is the I). A. It. Good Citizenship Girl of 1949. There’s no need to tell you she’s a wonderful girl with a super personality. You can see by all her activities that Marge has done a good deal of work for our class. We certainly appreciate it, too. She has done a wonderful job for Mrs. Jones, in the line of sports, throughout all her four years of high school. You’ll make a wonderful secretary, Marge, especially for Nels. We’re sure you'll be a great success in the future. Just look at the start you have now. RUTH ELIZABETH MOORE Commercial Ruihie I hate nobody; I am in charity icith the world. Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 3; All New England Band 2, 3; All State Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Vermont Music Festival Soloist 2: New England Music Festival 3; All New England Orchestra 4; Monitor 4; Hi! Schooler Typist 4. Rut hie is a very talented young lady who hails from Saxtons River Road’ She is a great help in the commercial department and is always willing to aid anyone in trouble. What would the band and orchestra do without her? She has attended many of the music festivals and is a whiz when it comes to playing her trombone. Her presence can always be told by her happy-go- lucky laugh. Everyone knows Ruthie is a swell friend to have. ALBERT GEORGE MOREAU General AI A good sport is somebody worthwhile. Band 1. A1 is the only boy in our class who comes across the bridge every morning from North Walpole. No matter what the topic of the day may be, he always has his own ideas on the subject. As for the girls, he never likes any one of them better than the other, but he does seem to like them all pretty well. With his polite and courteous manner we are sure of his succeeding in the future. DONALD CHARLES MORSE College Horsey I must go to the barber's—for methinks I am marvelous hairy about the face. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball I, 2, 3, 4; Operetta 2, 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Tennis 3, 4; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Spotlight Club 4. Donnie is a tall, polite boy who is one of our outstanding athletes. If you ever want him for anything, you might start looking on the basketbal floor or on the baseball diamond, and, if this doesn't prove successful, try the tennis courts. He certainly has been tops in sports. He and Billy Crotty won the Vermont Junior Doubles Championship, and that is really something to be proud of. Maybe, someday, Donnie will turn pro and even win the Davis Cup. VIRGINIA RUTH MUZZEY Commercial Ginny A well-bred silence always at command. Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Librarian 2, 4; Softball 2 Hi! Schooler Typist 4. If you go into Room 22 after school, you will be quite likely to see a slender girl, with blue eyes and light hair, banging away on a typewriter. That will be Ginny. She is probably doing her homework, or maybe she’s typing for Hi! Schooler. Lately, Ginny always has a ride home, which, she says, is very nice. One of her favorite sports is square dancing, ami she is very good at it. Here is one girl everyone will miss. We wish her the best of luck in every- thing.

16 THE SAMPLER WILFRED FOSTER LEACH College Foster You can't hare too much of a good thing. Hand 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1,2, 3, 4; Special Cilee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi! School - er 1; Operetta 1; Christmas Cantata 1, 2, 3, 4; All State Band 2; All State Orchestra 3; Roman Banquet 2; Junior Prom 3; Play Nite 3, 4: All State Chorus 4; All New England Chorus 4; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; High School Forum 4. Six feet tall, dark, and, oh, how nice looking is Foster. Without him our class would be very dull, as he is one of the chief jesters of the time. Foster is very musically inclined, both with his voice and with his trumpet, and also dramatically inclined, as you noticed in Play Nite. If you ever want Foster, you might first start looking in the Lab, as he spends all the time he possibly can there. If you ever want to know where any of your Lab supplies disap- pear to, just ask him. We have a hunch he'll know what has become of them. It’s all just a matter of magic, isn’t it, Foster? PAULINE LISA I College Potty It's nice to he natural, when you're naturally nice. Glee Club 1. 2, 3, 4; Hi! Schooler 1; President Home Room 1; Basketball 1; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Monitor 3, 4; Cheerleader 3, 4; Girls’ State 3; Special (ilee Club 2, 4; Piano Accompanist 4; All State horns 3, 4; Football Formal 4; Junior High Tournament 4; Senior Play 4; Freshman Reception 4. Bless us, here comes Polly, small, vital, and with laughs, rain or shine. Polly has always been indispensable in our dance work with a car or truck. Nor would the dramatic department have survived without the Lisai’s furni- ture or her excellent portrayal of the “Innocent” in the senior play. Polly makes an excellent accompanist and she has been a necessity for some exciting parties at Spofford Lake. If someone says, “Huh!” behind you, or you hear a horn blast on the way up the street, its Polly. Here’s hoping that her musical career pans out in the future. MARTHA ELLEN LOCKERBY Commercial Martha A quiet mind is richer than a crown. Here is a very quiet, studious girl with a sweet personality. But she is not always quiet. Oh no! When you get to know her, she is as jolly and full of fun as anyone could be. We hear a lot about certain frequent trips to Connecticut. She says she goes to visit her cousin. Hmm, we wonder if it is only her cousin that she goes to see! Martha plans to be a teacher someday. Her pupils will surely be lucky to have a teacher with such a nice disposition. ELIZABETH JOSEPHINE MAHONEY College Liz Of gentle soul, to human race a friend. Softball 1, 2. 4: (ilee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 3; Basketball 3; Football Formal 4; Freshman Reception 4; Monitor Liz is a girl who has a pleasing smile for everyone. She is a good sport and a bright student, and seems to go up North every chance she gets. We wonder why. Is it because of the beauty of the northern country or the cer- tain person that lives there? We hear Liz does some beautiful handiwork which is really something to be proud of. Nursing is Liz’s aim and we are sure she’ll be tops. DONALD PAUL MERLING General Don Thou hast seen nothing yet. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 4; Track 4; Junior High Tournament 4. Don is another of our outstanding athletes. Although he can’t always tell you what the right answer in English should be, he knows about every- thing connected with basketball and football. Don is one of the best dancers in our class, and he seems to be doing all right as a singer. If anyone has a party, Don is always on hand to enjoy himself. Next year we shall all miss him and the fun he has brought us in the past.

18 THE SAMPLER MARION MABEL N1ES (ieneral Marion I laughed, and danced, talked, and .sang. Basketball 1, 2, 8, 4; Sock Dance 4; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4. Here comes the tall girl with the ready smile for everyone. If it’s laughs you want, just call on Marion. She’ll keep you merry. We hear her interests seem to be in a certain fire station lately, and it’s not the flashy fire engines either. Marion can always be counted on to get chaperons for any dances. She is an excellent athlete. This has been shown by her participation in all the girls’ sports. With her personality, good humor and many abilities, we are sure Marion will be a successful girl. BURTON ALLEN NOWERS (Ieneral Bur tie The cheerful man's a king. Basketball 1, 2, 8, 4; Home Room Vice President 1; Baseball 2, 8; Junior High Tournament 8, 4; Monitor 8, 4; Track 8, 4; Junior Prom 8; Junior Rotarian 4; Boys’ State 8; Football Formal 4; Senior Play 4; Vice President A. A. 4; Vice Chairman of Student Advisory Board 4; Spotlight Club 4; Foot- ball 1, 2, 8, 4. A lady killer, if there ever was one, this popular lad from down West- minster way really gets around. In spite of his unfortunate accident in foot- ball we still consider him as one of the best players that Bellows Falls has seen in a long time. Has anyone noticed that Mr. McCarthy’s hair is getting gray? Well, Burtie is one of the reasons. What a psychology class! Everyone will hate to see Burtie leave, but our loss is someone clse s gain. Best of luck in the future to a swell kid. LILLIAN ALTA PARKHURST General Lillian Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit. Glee Club 1, 2, 8. Lillian is another one of Harry Spencer’s regular passengers. A quiet girl, with a pleasing smile and personality, Lil has left her mark in the class. I wonder how she finds time to do all the homework she takes home every night. Lil has her future all planned out. It’s nice to have Bartonsville so near to Brock way Mills, isn’t it, Lil? HELEN ANN PEARSON General Helen The world has ungels all tco few. Senior Play 4; Football Formal 4. Helen is the girl that came from English High in Lynn. She is one of the many quiet girls in our class, but, now and then, we do hear a word from her. Helen’s certainly helped many with her knowledge of bookkeeping. How do you always manage to get the right answer? As yet we don’t know what field she is planning to enter, but, whatever she chooses, we know she’ll be a success. HELEN PATRICIA PRENDERGAST General Helen The wind that blows, the ship that goes, and the lass that lores a sailor. Glee Club 1, 2; Cheerleader 8, 4; Junior Prom 3; Plav Nite 8; Senior Play 4. “Fight yell! Ready! Hip! hip!” There’s Helen with the rest of the cheerleaders keeping up the team’s morale. This Irish gal with the wonderful personality does more than cheer. She has been very active in all the inter- • lass sports. And the C. Y. O. basketball team couldn’t have done without her. Right now the Navy seems to be very appealing to Helen, at least one portion of it. Although she is undecided as to what her career will be, we know Helen will go a long way.
