8 THE SAM PL E R BEATRICE PULLAM “Bea Latin Course. Orchestra, 1, 2, 8, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club, 2, 3, 4; French Club; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; “Honor Bright”; “Growing Pains”. Who could forget explosive little Aunt Peggy of “Honor Bright”? None of us, of course! Well, it was our Bea who made her such an unforget able character. MARGARET GALWAY “Coolie” “A Cheerful Grin will lei you in General Course. Thomas Edison Club, 4; President of Commercial Club, 3. Coolie is the jolly senior from North Walpole, who smiles all the while. She has an ambition to become a nurse, and we think she’d make a fine one, being such a cheerful person and such an all around girl. RUTH GARLAND “ Ruthie Junsen-Steno Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 3. Kuthie used to bring little red candy hearts to English Class every day. Funny how Paul Costin always had a bright red tongue the same period. Do you care to explain, Hut hie? ANTOINETTE GARRETT “ Tony Orchestra, 1, 2, 8, 4; Glee Club, 8, 4; All-State Orchestra 3; All-State Chorus, 4; “Honor Bright”, 4; “Spreading the News”, 4; “Wonder Hat”, 3; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; French Club, 3, 4; Latin Club, 1; Club Reporter, 3, 4. To the heroine of “Honor Bright” goes a lot of credit for the play's success. “Tony” is very musical, having played her fiddle for us several times as well as render- ing vocal solos. She has been so busy with outside activities during her four years that at times she must have needed a private secretary to keep her school work up to date! ROBERT HADLEY Bob Chairman of Decorating Committee, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Announcement and Ring Committee, 4. For a graduation present. Bob would appreciate a new book from which he could get material for his Ancient History topics. Oh yes, he gives them now, but they are usually two weeks late and contain fifty words at the most. His “Yeah, O. K.” is heard every now and then, especially when Mr. Jay says, “You’d better get a topic by to-morrow.” CLARENCE HARLOW Cramp General Course. President of Junior Class, President of Sophomore Class; All-State Chorus, 3, 4; Glee Club; Spotlight Club; Thomas Edison Club. “Gramp” is one of the ace athletes of B. F., for he is a letter man and efficient in all sports. He’s also a likable chap, isn’t he, Ellen? PATRICK HARTY Pat General Course. Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Science Club, 4. “Pat” is one of the quietest boys in school. He never talks much about himself or about what he is going to do, but he goes right ahead and does it. You don’t know Pat until you see him outside of school. Girls, here’s your chance to get a good farmer and ask him why he goes home—way to Gageville—everyday. We wonder if it’s a girl or just the chickens. JOHN HEALY Bugs General Course. Football, 4; Hockey, 8; Track, 3, 4; Ski Team, 4. “Bugs” has shown many abilities other than his athletic prowess, especially his political or conductor abilities shown when he directed a state official to a certain place during the recent flood. EDWARD VINCENT HENNESSEY “Eggs General Course. Spanish Club, 4; Basketball, 3. 4 Baseball, 3, 4. “Eggs, the Lord Byron of North Walpole, is famous as the best shortstop that ever played for the opponents’ team. He has since distinguished himself as the Bill Terry of B. F.’s baseball invincibles. JOHN HENNESSEY John Latin Club, 2, 3; Spanish Club, 4; Science Club, 3; Hockey, 1, 2, 3; Glee Club, 3; “Spreading the News”; Decorating Committee Junior Prom, 3; Business Manager of Senior Hop, 3. John, the potential class “planter”, took Latin for three years before he found out the meaning of “corpus delecti . John never wears gloves during the winter, as he is trying to develop the undertaker’s handshake. CAROLINE HILDRETH Caroline Commercial Course. Commercial Club, 3. Caroline spends a lot of time at the library, yet she never has a book report done on time. She takes no books to or from the library and she never does any research work. Say, Caroline, is that where you and Alma meet the Boys? We thought so! CLIFFORD HOLMES Holmsey And still they gazed and still their wonder grew That one, small head could carry all he knetc. Latin Club, 2, 8, 4; Science Club, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3 Track, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 4; Debating Club, 1; Times Reporter, 3, 4; Vice-President of Class, 3. Clifford is the one who knows all the answers. You can’t kid him even if he is from the big city of Langdon. Here s luck to you, Holmsey. Y’ou deserve it. FRANK JURKOIC Frankie “ When I perform cren the angels smile. General Course. Band, 4; Orchestra, 4. If you want a one man, three ring circus just apply to Frank, for his simplest antics are likelv to cause a shout of mirth. Even if we can’t always appreciate his humor, we 11 admit he brightens Main Room con- siderably. EDWARD KANE “AW’ Latin Club, 2, 3, 4; Science Club, 8, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Cheer Leader, 3, 4; Junior Prom Committee, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Treasurer of Class, 2, 3 Class President, 4; Football, 2, 3, 4; Hockey, 1,2 3 4- Captain of Hockey, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Track, 1, 2,’ 4! Because Eddie frequently uses himself as an example. Civics Periods have been quite interesting at times’. As President of the Class he has done a lot to help class spirit. Eddie goes in for sports in a big way and also for a dark-haired, dark-eyed girl in our class. HELEN KANE « jjon » Wistful eyes, innocent smile Queenly airs, undeniable style Did she fool you? Well put you wise She's our class flirt In disguise. “Hon” certainly deserves the title of class flirt. No one is able to resist those twinkling coquettish eyes which she has learned to use artfully and successfully. We’re not asking you to take our word for it-—Howza' bout it, Joe? ROBERT KING Bob 1 rack, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 2, 4; Baseball, 3; Editor of

T II E S A M P L E R 7 ALICE CRAY “ Al” “Her walk is boyish Her talk is bold Hut underneath it all Heats a heart of gold. ” Hard-hearted Hannah! That is, at least she appears to possess a heart of stone, if any. But we all know different. If anything needs to he done, Al is over- anxious to assist. In spite of the fact that she tries to conceal all traces of femininity by fishing, bicycling, and other masculine diversions, traces continually seep out. For instance, no male could ever possess such a knowledge of cooking as Al does. ALMA CROMMETT “Alma” “Sometimes I sit and think Sometimes I just sit. Commercial Course. Junsen-Steno Club, 3. Nothing less than a calamity could move Alma from her usual calm progress through life. We do admire Alma’s placid disposition, however, and wish her the best of everything that life has to hand out. BERN A DINE DE MUZIO “Hern” Vice-President of Commercial Club, 4; Treasurer of French Club, 3; Latin Club, 2; Prompter of Senior Play; Decorating Committee of Senior Bazaar, 4; Opera House Committee, 3. Bernie, the best dressed girl in the class, does not spend all her time on clothes. Being ready to help anytime, anywhere, she lands on every committee. In case of a breakdown, however, she will have “ Kane for support. • VIRGINIA DENHAM “Ginnie” “Hut the girl worth while Is the girl that smiles” Glee Club, 4; Science Club, 4; French Club, 4; Lexing- ton High School, 1, 2; Field Hockey, Basketball, Base- ball, Lacrosse; Wellesley High School, 3; Archery, Track. “Ginnie” is always smiling, no matter what happens. She is a new member of the class this year, but has proven herself a worthy one. Ask her how she likes a certain boy in Walpole. That’s telling, huh, Ginnie? A LLAN 1) FXTER “ Deacon ” “ The boy with the million dollar smile” (ieneral Course. Track, 1; Glee Club, 4. When it coines to sunny dispositions. Allan leads the class. His height is such that he can look down on everybody and grin. ROBERT DOLE “Hob” “Bob” was a more serious fellow than most of us. He got the most out of his school work. A glance at his report would show a number of A’s and B’s, but this serious fellow took time out to make friends with everyone and to contribute much of his time to the Thomas A. Edison Science Club and to the Glee Club. MORTON DOWNING “Mort” “ Hy my walk shall all men know me. General Course. Glee Club, 4; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; and their Electrician. “ Mort” is one of our big boys. When help is needed back stage you can always call on him. If you hear, “ You can’t do that to me”, don’t get excited. It’s just Mort talking to one of the fairer sex. AVIS EDWARDS “Avis” (ieneral Course. Spanish Club One of Avis’s most striking characteristics is her intense love for bananas. We hope she will live where they grow in abundance, for storekeepers here are kept busy supplying her demand. JEAN EDWARDS “Jean” “ When into the depths of depression Our spirits hare been hurled A blue-eyed blonde came forward And crooning, saved the world.” General Course. Basketball, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junsen-Steno Club, 3; Basketball Tournament, 4; Commercial Club, 3. Jean has often entertained us by her “crooning” of popular songs in assembly. She even helped insure the popularity of “Red Sails in the Sunset” by an early presentation of it from the platform. IRENE ELIAS “Irene” Commercial Course. Spanish Club, 3, 4; Commercial Club, 3; Junsen-Steno Club, 3. Irene is very quiet in school except when she is talking to Ruth Farrell. Irene is our most attractive girl and is liked by everyone. She has an ambition to become a writer, and li e in Walpole. We wonder why she selects Walpole. NANCY FARIS Nance “Punctual as a Star Commercial Course. Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Science, 2, 4; Dramatics Club, 4. “Nance” is one of those quiet girls who is well liked by all her classmates. It seems that life can have nothing but success and happiness in store for such a talented and dependable person. RUTH FARRELL «Ruthie” Editor of School News, 4: Commercial Club, 3, 4. Ruthie is always talking to Irene Elias. It’s very confidential too. We wonder if it’s about a certain Gageville boy. Ruth is also well known for her weekly publishing of the School News. LAURA FENN “Laura” Latin Club, 2, 3, 4; President and Treasurer Student Forum, 3; Spanish Club, 3, 4; Glee Club, 2. Laura is the other member of the “Fenn Sister Combination”. If you expect to see dignified honor students, don’t go near Laura. Easy to get along with, full of wit, she is always welcomed in a crowd. Her popularity is proven by the fact that the minute she enters Main Room everyone shouts, “Got your Latin, Laura”? SYLVIA MAY FENN “Syl” Glee Club, 2; Latin Club, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 3, 4; Band and Orchestra, 2, 3, 4. “Syl” is the younger of the “Fenn Sisters”. Her contribution to the Senior Sampler is the Class Will. This great masterpiece will place her in the memory book of every Junior. They will always think of her as the one who marked them for life. JAMES FERGUSON “Jimmie” “Jimmie” has hopes of being a member of the Dartmouth Ski Team some day, and we surely hope he realizes this ambition. He gave us royal entertain- ment in “Growing Pains” and other plays, and has been on both the Football and Ski Teams at B. F. He has taken the College Prep Course and has belonged to the Spotlight, Science, and Glee Clubs. Jimmie is also Vice-President of the Senior ('lass and the semi-serious civic periods which he conducts are an assured success. PHYLLIS FREY “Phyl” Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Spanish Club, 2, 3, 4. Phyl is the veritable sage of the Saxtons River Jitney Service, and many wayward freshmen have profited from her discourses on life and manners. Her talents lie in several directions, so “Old Man Depression” shouldn’t phase her a bit.

r II E S A M P L E R 9 School News, 4; Class Secretary, 2; Student Forum, 3; Spanish Club, 2: Glee Club, 3. Bob distinguished himself both in the literary and athletic fields. He was the efficient editor of the journalistic masterpiece, the Rockingham School News. HELEN KISSEL Peaches Junsen-Steno Club, 3; Commercial Club, 4. Something hot, something cold, something new, something old, that's Kissel. You never know just what mood she is going to be in. I wonder if the Kissel family are bothered with CQ messages on their radio? For explanation, see Helen herself, she is always willing to explain such things. Helen certainly takes a great interest in Gageville. STEVEN KISSEL Sieve Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 1, 2, 3, 4. Steve is one of our talented Seniors. He is both musically and athletically inclined, since he is well known for his accordion, the “Sharpshooter’s March , and as center on our basketball team. MARY LEWKOWGI General Course Mary is rather quiet in school, but outside she is another girl. Say, boys, she has what it takes to be a home-maker—the ability to cook well. Her school life has been rather inactive, save when she is excused to go to the dentist. STEPHEN A LEWKOWGI Peppy “Peppy” is the gal who knows how to spar for time so well in Ancient History class. We can see her years hence keeping the spouse waiting, for some detail. Don’t forget. Peppy, “Time waits for no man—ami for darn few women. CARROLL LLOYD Lloydie Commercial Course. Commercial Club, 3, 4. “Lloyd will probably make some little woman happy, for he has acquired the art of cooking from Home Ec. classes, lie actually plans to become a lawyer, so before long lie may be finding loopholes in the law for his clients to slip through. GERALDINE LORANGE Jerry General Course. Glee Club, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Commercial Cadets, 3; Player and Manager of Basket- ball. 4. “Jerry is the lively Senior who seems to make pals of even her instructors. She informs us that her loftiest ambition is to be able to sit still, but we think her “jumpiness is really a part of her charm. CATHBRINE LUCIER “ Bessie Treasurer of Latin Club; Thomas Edison Club, 4; Glee Club, 4. Wc understand that Bessie is one of the most expert and experienced cooks of the Home Ec. Department, so it seems her success in the future is assured. She attended High School at North Walpole for two years, then joined our ranks here at B. F. MARGARET MACARTHY “ Mary General Course. Commercial Cadets, 3, 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play Committee; All Decorating Com- mittees of the (’lass of ’30; Editor-in-Chief of Senior Sampler, 4; Secretary A. A., 4; Treasurer of Class, 4. Marg is one of the well known Seniors, for she has always been socially active in school, and has proved very efficient in guarding the bulging class treasury. Our “grub chiseler” is very much interested in her, and we fear that some day poor “Marg will have to subsist on his cooking. Don’t let him make you any cream puffs anyway, Marg! DANIEL MACDONALD Scotty “Speech is golden And am I rich Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Science, 2, 3, 4; Student Forum, 3; President of A. A., 4; “Spreading the News ; “Growing Pains ; “Honor Bright .

KATHERYN MAC LENNAN Mac Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Secretary of A. A., 3; Chairman Business Committee, 3; Ring Committee, 4. “ Mac is ever so popular this year, possibly because of her new Ford. Filled with ideas of how things should be run, she is frequently consulted on matters of class events. “Mac” can be found in Main Room anytime in the morning after the one minute bell (usually all out of breath). If asked why she was almost late, she hands out a perfect alibi, “Mac is home”. JOSEPH MASSUCCO Joe General Course. Latin Club, 1. 2, 3; French Club, 3; Junior Prom Committee, 3; Glee Club, 3; Track, 1; Hockey, 1. Joe is reputed to be the outstanding dancer in the class. He especially rivals Fred Astaire when Astaire is sitting down. Joe received most of his practice hoofing around Scrabble. RAYMOND MC CLARY Ray Ray’s cartoons of classroom personalities have been greatly enjoyed by all Seniors, although they proved slightly disconcerting to feminine teachers. With such artistic ability, he should become notable in the future by conscientious use of his “powerful pen. FLORENCE M EANEY “Flo Chewing gum is a great pastime. General Course. Commercial Club, 3, 4. Frivolous Flo! Wotta gal! She evidently possesses an inexhaustible supply of “what it takes more con- servatively known as energy. No matter where you go, you’ll find her. She is like the atmosphere—here, there, and everywhere. She claims that her ambition is to marry, but we think she’s missed her culling. Can’t you see her as a perfect playmate for some gay Lothario, flitting about, doing the night spots? How- ever, whatever she does, we know she will do it well. EDWARD MINER Eddie General Course. Science Club, 2, 3, 4; “ Honor Bright “Spreading the News . We certainly fully enjoyed the queer postures Eddie would assume while reciting poetry in English class, but they added to the general artistic effect. lie wishes to become a mechanical engineer. AGNES MITCHELL Aggie General Course. Volley Ball; Baseball; Glee Club. “Aggie” has been with us only this year, for she previously attended school in New Hampshire, where she was active in many sports and clubs. Aggie has fond hopes of becoming a nurse and when she ejaculates “O. K. (as she often does) you may be .sure that everything is “tops up. GEORGE OLMSTEAI) Gcorgic A Diamond in the Rough “Where the Cross Is Made ; “Honor Bright . “Georgie’s sarcasm may be a trifle scorching at times, but down underneath he’s a grand chap. He makes a fine soldier boy at Fort Ethan Allen, and has our best wishes for a successful future.
