T H E S A M P L E R ) CLASS OF 1940 WHO'S WHO WINTHROP AMIDON General “ Winnie” “The wheel that turns gathers no rust” Decoration Committee, Junior Prom. A dashing young swain from Westminster, Winthrop has developed a masterful technique on the keyboard of his typewriter in Room 22. He also always manages to avoid detention by using that aged excuse—“I go on the bus!” FRANCIS AUMAND General ” French y” “ All things come to him who waits” Interclass basketball, 1; Baseball Manager, 8; I rack, 4; Dramatic ( lub, 2, 8, 4; Decoration Committees, 3, 4; Stage Manager, 4; School Patrol, 4. “Frenchy” is Miss Wilcox’s pride and joy. He’s rather girl-shy now. but he wasn’t in the first grade. Ask Betty Collins. MARGARET BALDASARO General “Mary” Silence is as great an art as speech” Margaret is one of those quiet maidens from North Walpole, but we suspect that a lot of thinking goes on in that sleek head. HAROLD BALLINGER General ” Bailie” “All orators are dumb when beauty plcadeth” Hockey, 2, 3, 4: Interclass Basketball, 2; Interclass Volleyball, 2; ( lass Trip Committee, 4. “Bailie”, the Fred Astaire of the class of ’40. is quite a gay Lothario. “A” comes first in the alphabet, but we wonder if “A” or “B” is first in his heart? WALDO BEALS Commercial ” Bealsy “What wind blew you hither?” Track, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 3; Spotlight ( lub, 8, 4; Decoration Committee, Opera House, 3; School News, 4; “A Thanksgiving Ad- venture,” “Two Crooks and A Lady,” ‘‘The Dear Departed,” “Apron String Revolt,” “The Poor Nut;” Boys’ State, 3; Editor of Senior Sampler, 4. A veritable Barrymore, he loves the girls and leaves em. Waldo is one of those tall, silent (?) he-men from out Saxtons River way, but does he know his way around B. F.! !

And four long years are now behind. While life stretches on ahead; And to teachers, who through fair or foul, Have helped us on our way. To classmates who have worked and played. We say goodbye today. We have come to the end of our high school days. And now our ways must part. But memories of these days we’ll keep Forever in our heart. And we hope that those who follow us. Who through these halls shall pass, Will think of us and remember us. The 1940 Class! Elizabeth Lovell

10 T H E S A M P L E R HENRY BLAKE Commercial “Pudgy” “Cheerful company .shortens the mites” Spotlight Club, 8; Decoration Committee, Senior Hop, 3; “The Poor Nut,” 3; “Aprong String Revolt,” 4. Pudgy doesn t think that Western Union means a cowboy's underwear. He can find more work to do just about 8:3« and 1:10 delivering telegrams. Pudgy’s” sunny smile has warmed many a heart. MARY BOBROWSKI General “Aggie” “As merry as a cricket” Interclass Basketball, 3; The Poor Nut,” 3. The girl with the manly stride, Mary always has a friendly smile and word of greeting for everyone. We wish you the best of luck, Mary. BARBARA BOURASSA General “Barb” “ The course of true lore nercr runs smooth ” Glee Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 8; Decoration Committee, Senior Bazaar, 4. Barb” is the State of Mainer who joined us in her junior year. She follows the policy of “Live Alone and Like It”. PHYLLIS BROUGH College Preparatory “Phil” “ A little body often harbors a great soul” Interclass Basketball, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, £, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Decoration Committee, Senior Hop, 3; Prompter, Senior Bazaar; Cheer Leader, 3; Majorette, i: “The Poor Nut,” 3. What Phil lacks in height, she certainly makes up for in wit. Whenever there’s the slightest opportunity, she’s right there with a snappy comeback. We wonder if a certain fellow’s ring is worth all those Friday night cakes. How about it, Phil? ROBERT BURNS College Preparatory “Bob” “Faint heart ne'er iron fair lady” Track, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 3; Senior Hop, 3; “Apron String Revolt,” 4; Patrol, 3, 4; Boys’ State, 3. Burnsy” may be bashful, but he certainly has a large percentage of the feminine hearts palpitating madly. His droll humor keeps the Spanish class rolling in the aisles.
