22 T HE S A M P L EJR JOHN MACKENZIE MELLISH Civic N wfc Cursed be he uho moves my bones. Junior Varsity Football 2; Junior Prom if; Football Formal 4. John, better known as Stub, is quite an active member of the (lage- ville A. C. We hear he’s getting to be quite a ladies’ man. More power to you, Stub. Stub always has a cheery smile and hello when we meet him in the corridor. We don't know what we would have done all through school without his wit. He is also quite a lover of literature, and, if there is any word that comes up with which we are having difficulty. Stub is always there to lend a helping hand. As for athletic ability, we don’t know too much about it, except that he is a dead-eye at the Community House in basketball, and, according to the younger generation out in Gageville, he is pretty rugged in football. Best of Luck, Stub. GERALDINE MARGARET PALMER Commercial Gerry She nears her heart upon her slcere. Junior Prom if; Junior Party 3; Football Formal 4. Gerry is the girl with a smile for everyone. When she’s not puzzling over her bookkeeping, she’s running around Newberry’s repeating, “May I help you?’’ Gerry spends her summer leisure time swimming. For winter recreation, besides being an ardent basketball fan, she racks up a mean score in bowling. One of her vear-around favorite pastimes is writing to a certain Art, in a little town in New Hampshire. Gerry’s set her goal at being a secretary. We’re all rooting for you. ADELINE KATHERINE PANEK College Preparatory Delcia Quiet till you get to knotr her. I-atin Club 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Home Room President 1; Librarian 4; Cafeteria 4: Monitor 4; Cheerleader 4. Here's a gal who, at first glance, appears to be quiet, but take a tip from those who know her best,—she isn’t! Ask Delcia how she got those cutedimples and she’ll tell you a little story. Credit should be given to this cute, blue-eyed brunette for working and succeeding in bringing the Rockingham Hospital patients to quicker recoveries with her impressive ways. And we shouldn’t forget the swell job she did as cheerleader for the past two years. We’re sure Delcia won’t be forgotten by her classmates for a long time and we wish her a very successful nursing cureer. JOAN ALICE PARROTT Commercial Joannie There is misehief in this female. Special Glee Club 1; Freshman Reception 4: Operetta 1; Cheerleader 3. Joanie’s that cute gal from North Walpole who never seems to miss a day of school. What’s the matter, Joanie? Is the bridge too cold or is it the many loves you have on your mind? We all envy her beautiful natural curls. Did you ever hear her sing? She really has a nice voice and always seems to know the latest tunes. As a cheerleader, you couldn’t have asked for a better one. Joanie, what’s so interesting in Shaw’s? Could it be? Ilmm! 1 wonder. Well, we all know that with her looks, personality, und swell sense of humor, she is surely on the road to success!

'I' H E S A M P L E R 21 RAYMOND FRANCIS MC CLARY Civic Ramie The man that blushes is not quite a brute. Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State 3; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Hi! Schooler 3; Sampler Art Editor 4. Here is the boy who keeps the office busy keeping track of his absence slips. He’s one of the quiet boys of the class, but, if you see him driving around the square at night, don’t be surprised. He’s looking for a certain girl. One of his ambitions is to take a new car apart and see if he can rebuild it. He’s sure to go places with that artistic talent. His biggest ambition is to be a commercial artist. Ray has been trying to go on a 3-day school week, but hasn’t succeeded yet. With his looks and personality he is sure to reach the top. WILLIAM ROBERT MC GUIRK Commercial Bill Still uaters run deep. Basketball 4; Junior Varsity Baseball 3. Well, well, what have we here? We might have guessed it—another one of those boys from North Walpole! But here’s a switch, he’s a cjuiet one! One of our better basketball players, Billy is a familiar figure to those who attend basketball games regularly. He seems to be another of these fellows with no female interests, but. on the other hand, maybe there’s someone we don’t know about. But there again, time will tell! Here’s to luck in the future. JANE ELIZABETH MACK Commercial Janie Because is a tcoman's reason. Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Special Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Who’s the gal that wishes Springfield was in her own back yard? You guessed it; that’s our Janie. This little girl was born with the gift ofgabandyou can bet your life she sometimes wishes she could give it away. Where there’s trouble, there’s Janie. She’s really an all-around girl with her ability in sports, preferably basketball, and the many other activities in which she takes part. We mustn’t forget Janie’s dancing. Boy, can she—pardon the expression— “cut a rug”! This fun-loving girl has a great many ambitions, and, no matter which one she chooses, she’s bound for success.

Let us introduce you to the prettiest girl in the Senior Class, Rachel Mathers. Rachie, besides her good looks, has a lovely voice and has contributed much to the musical activities of B. F. II. S. What would Miss Bedell ever have done without her? As you have no doubt heard, Rach is also quite a popular gal with the opposite sex, especially with a certain group known as the V A. boys. She really gets around! The I . V. M. Kakewalk was a big event this year. Was it fun? How about telling us about it sometime? Rach plans to become a surgical nurse and we all know that she’ll be very successful. The best of luck to you, Rach.

THE S A M PEER 23 KENNETH PAUL PARROTT Commercial Kenny Where lairs and tyranny begin. Vermont Music Festival 3; Special (ilee Club 8, 4; Home Room Represen- tative 4; Christmas Pageant 4; Play Nite 4. Tall, dark, nice looking,—of course that’s Kenny. This North Walpole boy is interested in mechanical work but we know of one interest that has nothing to do with mechanics. Those frequent trips to Alstead are getting to be a habit. He does a lot of artistic work. If you’ve never seen any of his paintings, you’re really missing something. Aumand’s store seems to be Kenny’s step-home. You’re bound to find him there every night, except Wednesday, when Au- niand’s is closed. Kenny’s not too sure of the future yet, but, whatever he decides to do, there’s no one better to do it. JOHN KENNETH PATTERSON Civic Kenny Life is a bubble. Kaseball 1, 2, 8, 4; Basketball 1; Home Room President 1. If you happen to hear anyone in the halls mentioning sports, it’s none other than our Kenny. Known to his friends as Fuzzy, he’s trying to move Boston a little closer to B. F. The women don’t appeal to Kenny any more, ever since he heard that Boston has three professional teams, baseball, basket- ball, and hockey. His ambition is to play basketball for the Celtics. With that left-hand hook-shot perfected, he’s as good as Larelli. Just imagine the public address system at Boston Garden announcing this: Starting at right forward that sensational six-foot-five-inch star, Kenny (Fuzzy) Patterson.” We wish you all the luck in the world in whatever it may be. CHARLES JOHN PENCEK Commercial Cookie I agree u-ith no man's opinion; I hare my oun. Manager Baseball, Football, Basketball 4; Science Club i, President 8, 4; Junior Prom 8; Senior Hop 8; Freshman Reception 4; Football Formal 4 Here’s the young man of whom the whole school should be proud. That’s Charles! Charlie is the veteran of our class. After spending three years in the Navy, Charlie came to school as a Freshman. We now find him graduating in our Class of ’50. Whenever there is something to be done for the class, Charlie does it without any fuss. He is active in other departments also: as manager of our football team, basketball team, and baseball team. He doesn’t go for the female sex, he says! Look where he goes over the week-end. Hats off to a lad with umhitions and determination. Lots of luck, Cookie. MARGUERITE ELAINE PERRY College Preparatory Marg Merer a dull moment. Latin Club 3; Freshman Reception 4; Junior Prom 3; Football Formal 4; Monitor 3, 4. If you meet a girl with smiling hazel eyes, walking up Rockingham Street, that's Marg. Marguerite’s favorite sport is eating. She came to us a sopho- more, from Hardwick. Vermont, and soon won us all with her bright smile. Marg’s ambition is to become a nurse. Can’t you just see her in a white uni- form, holding hands with those handsome men patients? Here’s to ya, kid! !
