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.

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.

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.
