THE SAMPLER 5 CLASS SONG (Tune of Shipmates Forever) We Senior are just old pals Who started in the fall We’ ve gone the ways together Our motto has been every one for all The time has come for parting It’s been a long, long trip But we all remember And it saddens us to think that now We have to say farewell. We all were verdant Freshmen When we started on our way And changed right then to Sophomores And started in to work and not to play When we merged to Jolly Juniors It took a long, long time To shape us into Senior’s That you see before you now But don’t forget its worth the while.

6 THE S A M I» I- E It WHO'S WHO Class of 1936 DOROTHY ADAMS “Dot” “Silence it golden ” Commercial Course. Junsen-Steno Club, 3. Dot is a very quiet Senior who rarely wastes time in foolish chatter as some of us do. BEATRICE ALEXANDER “ Bea” English Course. “ Honor Bright”, Orchestra, 1, 2,3, 4; Band, 1, 2, 3, 4; C.lee Club, 1, 2, 3. 4; Spotlight Club, 8, 4; Science Club, 4; Student Forum, 3. Bea is one of our most cheerful Seniors, who always seems to have somewhere to go, and something im- portant (?) to do. ROBERT ASHCROFT Ashcan “ The world's a great thought and Ashcan is thinking it' Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Science Club, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Double Male Quartet, 4; Vermont Music Festival, 3, 4; All-State Chorus, 4; “ Maid and the Middy ”, 3; “ Where the Cross is Made , 3; “Growing Pains”, 4; “Honor Bright”, 4; Junior From Committee, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Track Squad, 3; Track Manager, 4; Gym Exhibition, 1, 2. Bob distinguishes himself by his singing ability. As a matter of fact, he is the only one in the (ilee Club who doesn’t use music when singing “On the Road to Mandalay”. Bob uses a roadmap. FRANCIS BARBI ERI “Pickles'' Pickles is quite a playwright. Getting his inspiration from the Ancient History class, he wrote a play for Mr. Jay, which goes to show that he gets something out of history. His ambition is to become a truck driver and we understand that as soon as he gets the old age pension he is going to get a truck and a license. FRANKLIN BARRETT “Battler” Glee Club. 3, 4; Hockey. 2, 3. 4; Baseball, 2, 3, 4; Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; ermont Musical Festival, 3; “Honor Bright”; Gym Exhibition 1, 3; “Where the Cross is Made”. Franklin Conrad is lovingly known among his admir- ing comrades as “Battler,” although no one knows how he earned his title, because it is rumored he couldn't punch himself outside of a cellophane wrapper. C H AR LOTT E B E M IS “ Vh arlotte Although Charlotte is very quiet within the walls of B. F., she manages to create plenty of diversion out- side. We understand she “shakes a wicked ankle” on the dance floor, and that co-ed picnics are her specialty. TONY BOBROWSKI . . Tony Tony is so silent in class, so philosophic in expression, that we believe he is working on some invention for the good of mankind. Perhaps the article will be lead-less pencils for people who can’t write, or he may be for- mulating a toothless comb for baldheaded men. We are breathlessly awaiting the result! Hurry up, Tony. SHIRLEY BRADLEY “Skirl” “ Skirl's philosophy Is logically sound Why hot her with one man When more are around. Dramatic Club, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junsen Steno Club, 3; “Growing Pains”; “The Maid and the Middie”. t , Shirl, after all these years, why not break down and tell 11s how you acquired that undeniable, irresistible fastidious power that you hold over the opposite sex. It must be overwhelming for we hear that it recently took a Dartmouth “jockey” under tow! Poor “jockey”! Could it possibly be that unique combina- tion of yours, beauty and brains? There is no need for us to wish“Shirl” luck for someone will always be eager to make a place for her in the world. ELEANOR BROSNAHAN “ Brossie Commercial (Mub, 3; Junsen-Steno Club, 3; Science Club, 4. If you hear a constant buzzing toward the front of Main Room, don’t get excited, because it is only Eleanor. She certainly has a great gift of gab. We wonder how “Stosh” likes it. She certainly deserves the title of the most talkative girl in the class. Don’t you think so, Eleanor? URSULA BROSNAN “Ursic” “ Friend is a word of royal lone; Friend is a poem all alone. ” General Course. Spanish Club, 3, 4; Student Forum, 3. From her earliest school days, Crsie has been a spirited defender of “farmers' rights”. Always a pal and the best of sports, she has our sincerest wishes for the future. X MILDRED CABELL “Milly Commercial Course. Passaic Collegiate School, Crafts Club, Modeling and Sketching Clubs. Although Mildred has been with us for only two years, she is well-known and well-liked. She is noted for her blush when anyone speaks to her. FLOYD CAREY “Flod Vice President of A. A., 4; Basketball, 4; Track Team, 3; Glee Club, 3, 4. “Flod’s” presentation of his own arrangement of “Winter Wonderland” is one of the high spots of his life. Carey was the center of the 1030 basketball team and made a name for himself in sports. His trips to Springfield to see a school teacher are quite famous, especially the trip made the night of the big snow storm! GERTRUDE CLARK “Gcrl General Course Gert has a decided yen to become a school marm, and it is not hard to imagine her (years hence) sending small culprits to dentention for talking, as the teachers sent her back at B. F. H. S. VIOLA CLOUGH “Vi” “ Variety is the spice of life . Vi’s peppery disposition was well known even before she entered B. F., and her desire to reform someone has often provided a good time for others. With such lively characteristics, it seems she would make a successful “pill shooter” for she plans to become a nurse. PAUL COSTIN “ Herman ” General Course. Dramatics Club, 4; Decorating Committee, 3, 4. Paul may have a guileless expression in class, but we have discovered that there’s mischief in his makeup. Nevertheless, he plans to become a judge, and we all can imagine what a solemn one he will make.
