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?

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.

T HE S A M P L E R 18 MELVIN MILLER “Popeye ’ Dramatics Club 2, 3; (ilee Club, 2, 3, 4. College Preparatory Course Popeye” will always be remembered as the Guitar player of the class. We don’t know whether or not it is his guitar playing that takes his interests from Main Room to Room IS every recess. Rae! Rae! CORENA MINER “ Tele General Course; Home Ec. Club 3; French Club Tete” doesn’t seem to say much, we l et she will be heard from in the future. Her better half makes up for all that “Tete” doesn’t say. ELIZABETH MORSE “Libby” General Course; Horne Ec. Club 3. She came from that big town of Gagcville, but she seems to prefer Alstead for her male escorts. She was always witlr a different partner in Home Ec.—maybe il was her cooking that scared them away. Just another one of our girls who spends most of her spare time working in New- berry’s. AUDREY MURTHA “Squ irt ’ ’ Latin Course; President of (dee Club 4; Dramatics Club 2, 3, 4; “Knives From Syria”; Property Mgr. of “Seven Keys to Baldpate”; President of Home Ec. Club 3; Vice- President of French Club 3; Iatin Club 2, 3; “Growing Pains”; Inquiring Reporter of School News; “The Maid and the Middy”; Banquet Committee 4. Audrey is going to 1m a teacher, will she lie very strict or not strict enough? Audrey’s favorite songs are Irish songs. We wonder why they seem to draw a certain Irish boy. Keep it up, Audrey, you’re doing swell. EDWARD NASKI “Pansy” General Course. We certainly don’t know where Eddie got the name “Pansy” because he’s far from what the name signify». “Pansy” and Jimmie Lindstrom are inseparable in both work and play. ELMER NICHOLS “Elm” General Course. “Elm” came from way down in Westminster. The Bellows Falls girls do not seem to satisfy him, anyway he sticks to Westminster. What’s the matter with our girls, “ Elm”? In all seriousness “Elm” is one of our most bril- liant students. ANNA PHEUR Anna Ditin Course; Home Ec. Club 3; Latin Club 3, 4; (dee Club 3; Ring and Invitation Committee 4. Anna is the girl from North Walpole who literally captures the song, Keep that Twinkle in Your Eye”. Another one of t|je girls who fought her way through four years of Ditin and came out on top. She has a cousin in Walpole who thrilled all the girls with his voice. We think she prefers Charlestown herself. THOMAS POWERS “.Skeener General Course; Opera House Committee. “Sheener was one of the most studious boys of our class, and if studying books ever enlightened a person, “Sheener” certainly must be a bright boy. His favorite pastime is riding horses which often makes us wonder if he has ever been thrown. FLORENCE RANSOM “Flo” General Course; Home Ec. Club 3. A quiet girl whom one seldom knew was around. Flor- ence spent most of her time in the typing room—to an ad- vantage. We always knew where to find her. BEVERLY RAYMOND “ Bee” Ditin Course; French Club 3; Ijitin Club 3; Home Ec. Club 3. One of the few surviving girls who started from George Street School. It is said she has her eye on someone in Springfield although she has never brought him around for us to see. DONALD SHAUGHNEvSSY “Clancy” General Course; Football 3. 4; Hockey 3, 4; Tennis 3; (ilee Club 1, 2; Spanish Club 2, 3. The bright spot of the hockey team—the dull spot of the shop class. 'Phe boy who let his interest wander from school work to other things, especially sophomores and swimming. MARY SHELC Mary Latin Course; French Club 2, 3; Ditin Club 2, 3; Home Ec. Club 3. You never know whether she is around or not I3eca11.se you never hear a sound out of her except when she is re- citing in class. And somehow she always knows the answers. You should have told the rest of us how, Mary; we surely would have appreciated it. HORTENSE SHERMAN “Shermy” (ieneral Course; Student Forum 1, 2; Spotlight Club 1, 2; (ilee Club 4; Decorating Committee for Junior Prom. Hortense likes to draw—who knows she may be editor of t he funnies yet. She likes to argue and her chief pastime is making people mad at her— but all in fun. HELEN SNARSKI Helen (ieneral Course; Home Ec. Club 3. A girl who is always seen but seldom heard, from Bar- tonsville. She likes to argue especially in Home Ec., but she’s a good cook in spite of it all. STEVEN SOBOLESKI “Stash” (ieneral Course; Basketball 2, 3, Captain 4. Captain of our basketball team and another of Rock- ingham’s products. He took a winning team to Rutland and did himself and the team proud. It is reported he is going to be a G-Man (garbage man)—but nobody knows— or about his interests in the opposite sex. ( HARLES STEWART “Galloper” (ieneral Course; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3, 4. “Galloper ” got the name “Galloper” because he galloped Where? On the basketball court of course. He is also known for some of the acrobatics he used on the court. MARY TAYLOR Mary Commercial Course; (ilee Club 1; Secretary of Student Forum 2; Typist for School News; A. A. Committee 1. Mary hails from Cambridgeport. She is a quiet, stu- dious girl but also a g»x d sport. There is no need to wish Mary success in her future undertakings, because it will just come natural to a girl so deserving as she. RUTH TAYLOR Ruth College Preparatory Course; Basketball 4; Ring and Invitation Committee 4; “Jonesey ; Prompter of Senior Play; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 2, 3; French Club 1, 2, 3; Senior Play Committee; “Growing Pains”; Glee Club 1; Prompter of “Wonder Hat”, Editor of School News; Band and Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4. One in a Million” the song fits her perfectly. Besides playing basketball and going to dances, she comes off with the title Salutatorian. She was an officer in almost every club in school besides many outside ones, and everyone is still wondering when she found time to study. The most of them put it to her drags, but we know better.
