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.

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! !

T HE S A M P L E R •if) LUCRETIA ANN SHORE Civic AT% Many ran argue, and many ran converse. Junior Party 8; Junior Prom 3; Cafeteria 1. 4. 3, 4. Kitty seems to take a big interest in the Opera House. Is it the jot», or the people she meets, that interests her most? Her interests are by no means all at the Opera House. They seem to travel to New Hampshire, especially to Drewsville ami South Acworth. By the way, where does he come from? Gagc- ville certainly lost a good looking girl, when you moved to Bellows Falls. Kitty’s one ambition is to own a theatre of her own, but, till then, all we can do is wish you luck, and hope you get your theatre. EUGENE NELSON SHORT Civic Snuffy Hr ran swear the devil out of HeU. Junior Varsity Football 1, 2; Varsity Football 3, t: Junior Varsity Base- ball 1, ‘2, 3; Band I; Special (ilee Club I. 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 3. 1; Student Advisory Board 4; Christmas Pageant 3. Who’s this sporty gent in the 1032 limousine? Why, it’s none other than the mad chemist of the class of ’50. General Chemistry just wouldn’t have been the same without Snuffy. Most of his spare time out of school has been the exclusive property of a certain senior girl, whose name is Beattie. We hear Snuffy’s ambition is to be a mechanic so that he can keep his ear going. With his winning ways. Snuffy’s sure to be a success in whatever he decides to do. Best of luck to a swell schoolmate. : ELIZABETH ELLEN SMITH College Preparatory Betty Silence best speaks the mind. Basketball 1; Latin Club 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3. Betty is the art genius of our Senior Class. She will certainly get a long way in future years with her artistic ability and pleasing personality. Most of Betty’s time is spent in the ticket booth at the State Theatre. If you cannot find her there. Lord only knows where she is. Betty’s favorite pastime is going out to dinner and to dances with a certain friend. It certainly isn’t a female, is it. Betty? Her favorite expression is. “I am utterly exhausted,” especially at quarter past two on school days. Best of luck in your nursing career, or whatever you do! TERESA LEONA SNARSKI Commercial Teresa Her u ays arc trays of pleasantness and all her paths of peace. Softball 1; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Monitor 4; Junior Prom 3; Football For- mal 4; Hi! Schooler Typist 4; Girls’ State 3; Senior Sampler 4. With her poise and pleasant smile, plus ambition and brains, she should make a very good secretary. Teresa is one of our A students we don’t hear much about. What do you do with all those bills you get from Mr. Osborn? The cafeteria picked a swell bookkeeper. Teresa is another of Mrs. Jones’ defensive players on the team. It creates a problem getting home from prac- tice, but, of course, there is always North Walpole. She may often be seen at the sewing machine; hope you win your trip to Chicago! What will Mr. Spencer do for excitement on the bus when you arc gone? We wish you all the luck in the world.
