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! !

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!

24 T II E SAM P L E R MARJORIE ELLEN RAYMOND Commercial Porky Light or dark, short or tall, she sets a trap to snare them all. Basketball 1, 2; Softball 1. 2, 3, 4; Band 1; Spotlight Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Home Room Treasurer 1. Why take life seriously? You’ll never get out alive. Whenever there’s an uproar, look for Marge to be in the middle. She’s had her share of men, in and out of town, but right now she has narrowed her field down to Green Street. As the (’enter Street branch of the Gageville gung, she really gets around. Don’t let her nickname fool you: she’s really quite small. May all that the world has to offer be yours. BEATRICE LILLIAN REED Commercial Beattie It's nice to be natural, when you're naturally nice. Spotlight Club 4; Freshman Party 1; Freshman Reception 4; Senior Hop 3; Junior Prom .3; Hi! Schooler 2, 3, 4: Senior Play 4; Monitor 4; Cheerleader 3, 4: Librarian 2; (’lass Treasurer 3, 4: Cafeteria 3. Cute, popular, and full of pep, that’s our Beattie. Even though she’s small, she can often be seen on the football field or the basketball floor cheering the team on. If you are walking down the corridor of B. F. II. S. and see a Monitor smiling to everyone, you’ll know it’s Beattie. Her friendly manner and nice personality have won her many lasting friends. She has proved what a good sport she could be more than once by her grand sense of humor. It seems there’s one special senior boy who occupies quite a lot of her time. Lots of luck and success in the future, Bea. CARLETON EMORY ROBY Civic Vic God bless my ladies. Are they all in lore? Spotlight Club 1, 2,3, 4: Senior Play Committee 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Football Formal 4; “Antic Spring 1: “Three’s a Crowd 2; New England Drama Festival 1; “Circumstances Alter Cases 3; “To the lively Margaret 4; “The Whole Town’s Talking 4; Class Vice-President 3; Junior Rotarian 4. Here comes the class Casanova. Vic is well known everywhere within a radius of one hundred miles. He’s tall, good-looking, and. Oh! what an actor! Vic is another frequent visitor to Springfield. He says he goes for the ride, but confidentially, we know differently. We wonder whether he prefers blondes, brunettes or redheads; lie’s had his share of them all. He has a pleasant manner that gets him things. He’s a swell sport and all round good guy. Keep it up; you’ll go places. JOANNE NELLIE SHATTUCK Civic Jo I altcays have the last icord. Special Glee Club 4; Home Room Committee 1, 3; Monitor 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Junior Party 3; Football Formal I: Majorette 1, 2, 3, 4; Cafeteria 1, 4; Librarian 4; Freshman Reception 4. We always know where to look when we need volunteers for a committee. Joanne never fails us. As a majorette, she’s one of the best. Invariably we run into her as she rushes to her monitor post. She likes everybody, especially the boys. She’s very accomplished in the art of flirting with those big blue eyes. Springfield, Keene and Westminster seem to be big attractions. Jo is part of the Currier, Shattuck combination. We all agree that she seems to have that extremely pleasing and dependable way that gains her many friends. We aren't sure what her future will be, but we are sure she’ll be a tremendous success.
