TIIE SAMPLER 11 Europe. They may not have such nice telephone girls over there. ALBERTA FAIR Bert General Course; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Student Forum, 2. It’s a wonder to us how “Bert”, who is always singing to the moon on her long walks home up the lonesome road, can be so quiet in school. If you’re ever on that road you’ll know “Bert is coming when her favorite melody “Me and The Moon,” drifts to your ears. THELMA FREDERICK Thelma General Course; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3; Home ho. Club, 2; Student Forum, 2. Thelma is one of the shortest and quietest girls in the Senior Class. In spite of the quiet streak, she really be- comes violent in Law Class in hot arguments. This will come in handy to Thelma in her future life—we hope. JANICE FULLER Janice General Course. Janice was a very good commercial student this year, as all her short ha nd-speed certificates show. We sincerely hope that these rewards will bring her good results in her future life. MICHAEL FURGAT Michad General Course. Michael is just another of “Rockingham’s Sons.’’ He drives a car which comes in handy to some North Wal- polites, sometimes. DORIS GARVEY Doris General Course, Spanish Club, 3; Decorating committee, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1; Flay Committee, 3. Doris is the most attractive brunette in our class. At least one certain redhead thinks so. But so do a great many others— but to no advantage, because Doris believes in being true blue to one. Is that right, Doris? MARY GILLIS Mary General Course; Basketball, 4; Secretary of the Senior Class; Vice President of Sophomore Class; Spanish Club, 2, 3; Junior Prom Committee. Mary was the “life” of the basketball team this year. Ask her where, and why, she got the name “The Whistling Guard.” She really couldn't figure it out for herself, for awhile. Mary has a future ahead of her as a hostess. KATHERINE GRIFFIN Kat General Course; Manager of Girls’ Basketball, 4; Ring Committee, 4; Invitation Committee, 4; Assistant Editor of Senior Sampler. “Kat” is one swell kid as she made known to the high school during her two years here. She made many f riends through her shining sense of humor and her willingness to help. “Kat” was successful in all her undertakings except in making a certain short stop on the baseball team become interested. IDA HALL Ida College Preparatory Although Ida is by far the smartest and most studious girl in the Class of 1937, she is also one of the best sports. We are sure that all the work she has done in the past will get her somewhere in the future. EDMUND HARTNETT “Fireball” General Course; Baseball, 3, 4; Spanish Club, 2; Hockey 3, 4. “Fireball” was the star Litin student of the Sophomore Class, but now he’s the star pitcher of the team. He’ll soon be a Spanish Athlete. VINCENT HARTY “ Quaker ’ General Course; Football, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Foot- ball, 4. “Quaker”—We don’t know where Yin ever got that name, but we’ve got a pretty good idea. “Quaker’ was the steam of the baseball team this year. And how! RAYMOND HARWOOD “ T-Bon General Course. We are wondering how Ray will ever survive the future without his rubber band shooting. He seems to be the only one who has the ability to shoot a rubl er band the right fraction of an inch from our ears. BERN A RD IIITR USKO “ flickers ’ General Course. “ Flickers’’ is a boy who’s very quiet in school but every once in a while surprises one by coming out with a really smart crack. He’s no sissy, just because he’s quiet, ami he’s well liked by all who know him. GEORGE JEWETT Juicy General Course; “Seven Keys to Baldpate;” Orchestra, 3, 4; Senior Bazaar Committee, 4. “Juicy” was the noisiest boy in the class, but we appre- ciated his antics in Main room. His outstanding support of I mdon in the election was known all over the school, and we think he even did a little campaigning on his own. MICHEL JI RKOIC “Mi chie” General Course; Manager of Basketball, 4; Football, 1, 3, 4, Asst. Editor of Senior Sampler: Decorating Com- mittee, 3. “ Mitchic” did all right for himself during his high school «lavs. He l»ecamc very popular as Manager of Boys’ Basketball. A friend of his tells us that he is to become a Miner in the future. How about it, “Mitch”? JOHN KEEFE Johnny General Course; Dramatic Club, 2, 3; Band, 2, 3, 4; I atin Club, 2; “Jonesev”; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; Business Manager of Senior Sampler; Orchestra, 3, 4; Decorating Committee for Junior Prom; Spanish Club, 2, 3; Business Chairman of the Senior Hop, 3. What is it that “Johnny” has which gets him so many drags with the teachers? By the way, John has a pretty good orchestra when all the instruments happen to be in tune. Keep it up John, some day you’ll get to the top. KATHRYN KELLEY “ Bubba General Course; Editor of Senior Sampler; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; Basketball, 3, 4; Refreshment Committee 3, 4; Typist for School News; Senior Play Committee; Home Ec. Club, 3. Our Kditor-in-Chief and the Third Honor student who can be depended upon to lend a hand wherever needed. “Bubba” became famous for her “laugh,” but there really are times when she is serious (although seldom). She seems to prefer he-men instead of scholars in her social life. Who is he, “Bubba”? LAWRENCE KELLEY “A7 “ College Prep Course; Football, 3, 4; Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Track, 1. 2; Tennis, 2, 3, 4; French Club, 1, 2, 3; Latin Club, 1, 2, 3; Thomas Edison Club, 3; Dramatics Club 2. 3. V, Glee Club, 2, 3, Pres. 4; President of Junior Class; “The Maid and the Middy”; “The Wonder Hat ”; Grow- ing Pains”; “Jonesey”; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; All- state chorus, 4: Decorating Committee 3; Chairman Play Committee for Senior Plays. “Our gift to the ladies “Kcl” was one of the most active members of the Senior Class. He may have been the source of plenty of dis- turbance in Main Ro jm when he thought Mr. Osborn wasn’t looking, but when it comes to an all around good fellow, they don’t come any better.

10 T H E S A M PEER CLASS OF 1937 WHO'S WHO EVELYN ADAMS “Evie “One of a Pair.” General Course; Glee Club, 2; Home Ec. Club, 2. Is “Evie naturally quid, or is that just a means of dis- guise? We wonder! We are willing to believe the latter, for we hear Bondville has an added attraction for her’ Keep out of the country “Evie.” G UY BA I .D ASA RO “ Guy.tie’ ' General Course; Baseball, 3, 4; Football, 3, 4. We really don't know why “Guvsie” got the song “Shoe- Shine Boy hitched to him—not much! Guysie is the foot- ball hero from North Walpole. Perhaps he kept in shape from his long walks to and from High School, even though he did do plenty of complaining. ESTHER BARRY Esther General Course; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Captain, 4. Esther made a name for herself in high school by her voice, her basketball ability and her blush! If you’ve never seen Esther blush, just mention a certain name. We won’t tell the name, Esther—Everyone knows it! WILFRED BODINE “117Me College Preparatory; French Club, 3; Chairman of Busi- ness Committee for Senior Bazaar; Interclass Basket- ball!” Seven Keys to Baldpate. We all must admit that “Willie said plenty about sports but he never did tell us why he made his many tours to North Walpole and Chester. Come on, “Willie,” give us the lowdown. STEPHEN BOLASKI “Steph General Course; Basketball 2, Captain 3, 4. “Steph was a one-man basketball team, and we want to know who is going to STEFIN and take his place next year. “Steph” stays upon the farm most of the time, but w hen Saturday night comes around and he comes down, all the “ferns” of B. F. and North Walpole turn out to vamp him. SHIRLEY CARVER “Shirt A cute Utile Monde with eyes of blue With lots of pep and laziness tool General Course; (dee Club, 3, 4; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; “Thank You Doctor ; “Jonesey ; Secretary Junior Class; “Seven Keys to Baldpate (prompter). Shirley is a blonde. Not just another blonde, but an extra special blonde. Just ask a certain redhead if you're not convinced. She has been said to have proven the old saying that, “Good things come in small packages.” KATHERINE CASKINS Kay General Course; “Thank you Doctor”; (dee Club, 1, 2; “The Maid and the Middy”; Dramatics Club, 2, 3, 4; Student Forum, 2. “Kay” is one of the girls in the class who talks a lot but but never says much. Most of her time is spent at the Cravco and at Springfield. She is a good sport and a swell dancer. She talks of“Fifon all the time. No one has ever seen “Fifon.” What is it, “Kay”, man or mouse? EVELYN CLAREY Evelyn General Course; (dec Club, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4, “Enchanted Isle ; French Club, 3. Evelyn was just another in our big class until some one learned she could sing. She carried off the honors in our operetta besides very admirable places in a district and state contest for voice. She is another in our midst who claims a career in nursing. H EN R X C R A “ Buckeye ” General Course; Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Track, 1, 2, 3; Dramatics Club, 2, 3, 4; Student Forum, 2; French Club. 1» 3; (dee Club, 2; Secretary of A. A.; “Thank You Doctor ; “Seven Keys to Baldpate “Jonesey”; Junior Prom Business Committee; Opera House Committee, 3; Senior Bazaar Decorating Committee, 4. “Buckeye really isn’t the class night hawk, although the class voted him that. There is a certain house on the corner of Williams and Green that he visited quite often. We thought that was all over but his visits have started again. Se wish you luck as an undertaker, “Buckeye.” JOHN DEDRICK John General Course. John is one of the quietest boys in the senior class. We never hear much about him, but when it comes to talking about shop class John is right there. Is it a drag, John? IX)RIS DEWEY General Course; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; “Growing Pains ; Dramatics Club; Glee Club; Student Forum. Dot is that little blonde who snares all the boys by roll- ing her eyes. Did you ever see her not Hirting? She’s a swell girl with lots of pep and always ready to go. It is rumored that she and another senior girl had a grand time Easter Weekend. We wonder why! JOHN DIXOLL “Motorcycle” College Prep. Course; Spanish Club, 2, 3; I tin Club. 3; (dee Club, 2. Who’s that streak of lightening? Right! It’s Divoll! The fastest moving gent in the Senior Class, both in school and on the football field. He prefers Rockingham but his interest also wanders to a certain sophomore from North Walpole. JAMES DOUGHERTY “Jimmie' College Prep. Course; Ditin Club, 1; French Club, 1, 2, 3; Vice-president of French Club, 2; Treasurer of Student Forum, 2; Treasurer of Sophomore Class; Dramatics Club, 2; Glee Club, 2; N ice President of Junior Class; Chairman Business Committee for Junior Prom; Football. 3, 4; Decorating Committee, 2, 3, 4; “Jonesey”; “Seven Keys to Baldpate.” Treasurer A. A., 4. Jimmie was voted as the boy who did the most for his class and the A. A. or was it vice versa? Seriously, though, Jimmie is a swell sport, and certainly deserves plenty of credit for all he has done for his class and the athletics He is also famous for his two-line speeches in school dra- matics! MARTHA DOWNING Martha General Course; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; French Club, 2; (dec Club, 1; Orchestra 1, 2. Martha is the quietest girl in our class. She surely sur- prised many of us by showing her ability to ride horse-back. We know Martha is going to be a great success when she gets out in the world on her own, but just the same, here’s luck Martha! GEORGE ESTES (ieorge English Course; Dramatics Club, 2, 3, 4,; Glee Club, 2. 3, 4; “Thank You Doctor ; “Seven Keys to Baldpate.” “When there are bigger and better things to be done, I'll do them “Gramp, “Bauffer,” “Bowser,” “Hamburg,” “Lil Abner,” are just a few of the large collection of nicknames which our official foreign ambassador has acquired thus far. Some guy! Hope he doesn’t get lonesome over in

12 THE S A M P L E R MARGARET KENNEDY “Babe College Prep. Course; Treasurer of the Senior Class; “Knives From Syria”; “Growing Pains”; I tin Club, 2; French Club, 2, 3; Dramatics, 2, 3, 4; Drum Major, '3, 4; Orchestra, 2, 3, 4. The most popular girl in our class. “ Marg” is known by both boys and girls, but we think she played the basketball quintet herself—especially the members from Rockingham. “ Marg” plans to be a nurse. We think she’ll make a good one—she has plenty of resistance. FRANCIS KINIRY “Crab” General Course; Baseball, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4; Opera House Committee 3. “All the great men arc dead and I'm not feeling teell myself “Crab” came over to B. F. II. S. to make himself know n and he certainly did a good job for himself. He became popular as a baseball and basketball player and made many friends. JAMES KINIRY “Jimmie” General Course; Student Forum 1, 2; Track, 2. A good-hearted, good-natured boy who is always on hand to help. He is quite quiet in his school life, but we expect that he saves all his pep and enthusiasm for his famous week-ends. You know he is practicing to become a bowling and pool champion! BERNARD KISSELL Bernie General Course; Basketball 3, 4. Bernard, “Winkie” Kissell—Center for the 1937 South- eastern Vermont champions, in basketball, was second string center of the Southern Vermont tournament team. Kissell can hardly wait for Chcm to come around each day. We wonder why! LEO KNIGHTS Leo College Prep. Course; “Enchanted Isle”; Latin Club 3, 4; (Bee Club 3, 4. I eo made a name for himself in the operetta “ Enchanted Isle”, as Papa Gomez. He certainly did make himself known to a certain little girl who sat behind him in his senior year. WILLIAM KOLASKY Uncle General Course; Vice-President of Senior Class; Banquet Committee 4; Ring and Invitation Committee 4; Business Committee of Senior Sampler; Decorating Committee 3; Stage Manager of “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; Baseball 2; Track I, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3. And a brute is he. “Uncle” is the best athlete in the class. We hear he keeps in trim by visiting the local bowling alleys, and also by bumming rides, carrying a canoe. Maybe someday “Lncle” will add a few medals for cooking to the large number he already has for his athletic activities. MARY KRESS Mary General Course; Student Forum 1; Spotlight Club 2. Mary likes to draw and may be an artist yet. Her Waterloo is English Lit., but we think she likes it all the same. Her hobby is making white sauce for Miss Madigan —with the lumps. ELIZABETH LANDERS “ Bette General Course; Commercial Club 3; Junsen-Steno Club 3; Refreshment Committee. We hear that “Bette” is to become a dietitian in the navy. What connections are there here, “Bette”? We think that “Bette” will be successful in this position, be- cause when it comes to Home Ec. “Bette” is right on her toes. EDMUND LAWLOR Bandy'’ College Prep. Course; Hockey 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Football 4; Decorating Committee for Senior Hop 3; Chair- man of Refreshment and Entertainment Committee for Junior Prom; Chairman of Opera House Committee 3; President of Senior Class; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; “Jone- sev”; “Knives From Syria”; “Seven Keys to Baldpate ; Stage Mgr. for State Tournament Play, 2; Litin Club 2, 3; French Club 2, 3. “Bandy” is one who is greatly informed on ail athletic contests. He indulged in many himself during his High School days here, namely: Football, Hockey, Baseball and Interclass Basketball. “Bandy” led the Senior Class as President and did a great job. When he isn’t spending his spare time in some sort of athletic game he is spending it in the greatest game of all, so Ed thinks, with a tall, hand- some member of the Junior Class. Her name is “ Betsy”— and it’s not a cow. JAMES LINDSTROM Jimmic General Course; Treasurer of Junior Class. The shortest boy in our class who came from North Walpole. Jimmie wrote our will and wouldn’t give any- one a peck at it. We don’t know just why, but we think Jimmy and Marg Kennedy should get a job doing a tango—or maybe the rumba—on a personal appearance tour. ANNE LOVELL “Bed’ Latin; Course; French Club, 1, 2, 3; Latin Club 2, 3; (ilee Club 1; Assistant Editor of School News; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”. It’s too bad Anne lives in Rockingham City so far from us because no one could wish for a better pal. Anyway, she must have had good influence on our “ Purple Terrors, ” from that big city, for they were a winning team. We hear she preferred motorcycles to even a bus;—What about it— Pete? DONALD MARTIN “Iggy” General Course; Football 4; Spanish Club 2. Don Martin, whom his class mates call “Iggy” was one of the sturdiest, strongest, best-plaving lineman that ever played football for B. F. H. S. “Iggy” was so good that Coach Petrosky called him “The Fox”. As assistant - mgr. of the hockey team he also shower! his good qualities. MARGARET McDONALD Marge Latin Course; (dec Club 1. 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3; French Club 2. 3; “The Maid and The Middy”; “Growing Pains”; “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; Alumni Reporter for the School News. “Marge”—the girl who always walked around the building singing. We wonder why she always seems so happy. Ask her where she spent most of her leisure time— But then who didn’t! Wonder what she and her pal did when they stayed together for a week, alone?? Or were they alone??? Well here’s to you “Marge”, you certainly were a bright spot in the life of the 1937 Senior Class. MAX MILLER Max College Prep. Course; President of A. A. 4; Latin Club 1; French (Hub 1, 2, 3; President of Sophomore (’lass; Tennis 1, 2; Captain 3, 4; Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; “Seven Keys to Bald- date”; “Wonder Hat”; Knives From Syria”; Dramatics Club 1. 2, 3, 4; Chairman of Decorating Committee 3, 4; (dee (’lub 2, 3; Associate Editor of School News; Presi- dent of Freshmen Class. The almost Irish Tenor of the Class of 1937. Whenever anything is quiet and peaceful who starts a riot? You’re right it’s Max. Question—Why has the ring he is wearing got the initials M. A. M. when he has no middle name? Answer—Haven’t you heard?
