Foster dislikes Chemistry tests so much that he manages to skip them until he has a little more time to study. Or is it to get the questions? SHIRLEY CLARK (ieneral “Skirl “Better late than nerer Interclass Basketball, 3; Glee Club, 1. Shirley can often be seen, out of breath, breezing into Room 11 trying to beat the last bell. She wins out a few times.

Patsy seems very quiet in school hut is he really. He skips school quite often and it isn’t to work.

We hear that Betty is quite a good driver. But what happened to the fender of Eddie’s car one night? Ask Betty. KENNETH CONGDON College Preparatory “ Pinochio “Experience is a great teacher” Band, 4; Orchestra, 4; All-State Band, 4; Senior Bazaar. 4. “Pinochio” is the mad scientist of the chemistry class. Ask him where not to hold burning sodium. MARIAN CONNELLY College Preparatory “.Scoop” “News travels fast” Glee Club, 4. Extra! Extra! All the latest news and dirt when you want it. Just sec Marian Connelly. Ask Marian why she didn’t want Mr. Kellogg to change her seat in English class. PATRICIA COSTIN General “Siamese” “Irish, but not green” Class Secretary, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4. As secretary of our class, Patty certainly proved her ability. She can usually be seen with another of our class officers. These Irish do possess an amazing attraction for one another. 12 T HE S A M PLE R IR MN COWING General “Pappy” “Oh this learning, what a thing it is” Baseball, 3. • Pappy” is one of the Gageville boys and Mr. Holder’s pride and joy in Algebra class. You should sec “ Pappy” shake a leg doing the “ Polka. ” ‘ FRANK CROMMETT General “Chum” “ Here, there and everywhere” Football, 1, 2, 8; Basketball, 2; Hockey, 1, 2; Baseball, 2. Moe Colli tch ” himself. Ansel certainly didn’t let scholastic worries interfere with his fun. It was a long, back-breaking struggle, but “Churn” made it. ROBER1 CROTTV College Preparatory “Rob” “Discretion is the better part of valour” Basketball, 2, 8, 4: Co-captain, 4; Track, 8, 4; Baseball, 2; Football, 8. 4; Iennis, 8, 4; Glee Club, 2: Junior Prom, 8; Play Committee, 4; Class Trip ( ommittee, 4; School Column, 4. “ Unorthodox Bob” they call him on the basketball courts. Maybe that s how he manages to put so much over on the teachers. Jl'DITH CURRIER General -Judy” “ Wistful eyes, innocent smile, queenly airs, undeniable style; did she fool you? Well put you wise, she's our class flirt in disguise” (Jlee Club, 3, 4: All-State Chorus, 4; Sampler Board, 4: Editor of School ( olumn, 3; “The Cat and the Canary,” 4. ‘Judy is one of the quiet girls of the class, except when she’s busy whispering in main room. She did a swell job as “Aunt Susan” in The Cat and the Canary” this year. JAMES Cl RTIN General “Lefty” “A man that blushes, is not quite a brute” Baseball, 8, 4; Volley Ball, 2; Assistant Gym Instructor. 4;AssistantCoach of Junior Varsity, 4. See that morose and forlorn look on Curtin’s face? Yep, you guessed it! He’s had another spat with Barbara. T II E S A M P L E R 13 HELEN CYRS Commercial “Cyrsie” “� She looks quiet, but look again” (ilee Club, 1: Dramatics Club, 8, 4; Play Committee, 4; Freshman Reception, 4; School Column, 3; “The Cat and the Canary,” 4. Our “lil’ chawklit drop” sure made a hit in “The Cat and the Canary this year. She looked like a West Indian even down to the long, claw-like fingernails. PAULINE DONNELLY General “Polly” “A good sport is somebody irorth while,” Dramatics Club, 4. Pauline proves the point that good things come in small packages. Not only can she dance well, but she also walked away with two very coveted titles, the best looking and the most attractive girl in the class of 41. PATRICIA DRISCOLL General “Patty” “ A rolling stone gathers no moss” Varsity Basketball, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; (ilee Club, 1, 2; Drum ties Club, 3; School Column, 4. Look out boys! Here comes “Spitfire.” Patty is one of the roughest basketball players Miss Newell ever turned out. JOHN EXXER College Preparatory “Ken” “ You can tell a wise man by his quiet ways” Track, 2: Junior Prom, 3; Roman Banquet, 4. “ Ken” is the antique collector of the class. Some of those old swords of his make you shudder just to look at them. JACQUELINE FABIAN General “Jackie” “With hair like a raven's wing Jackie is a great sport! She’s only been here a year, but she pitched right in and did a lot of work for our class trip. North Walpole carries quite a fas- cination for Jackie! 14 T II E S A M P L E R EDWARD FAIRBROTHER General “Eddie99 “ A man can die but once” Hockey, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3; Patrol, 3, 4. Eddie” is an ambitious guy who works day and night, except Saturday night when he has a good time. His hockey was good, but his cooking was better. Some day some girl will get a good bargain. PAUL FITZGERALD General Fitty “Lore at first sight’’ Football, 3, 4; Hockey, 4, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; “Pierre Patelin,” Stage Manager, 3; “The Cat and the Canary,” Electrician, 4; Vice Presi- dent of Junior Class. Paul is a rather quiet boy in school but when he’s out we are not res- ponsible. His football was good, his hockey was good, but his approach is excellent. We hope he didn’t have to wait too long every Saturday night out- side J. J’s store. THOMAS FITZGERALD General $50 “ ’m a little brownie” Football, 1, 4, 3, 4; Hockey, 1, 4, 3, 4; Basketball, 3, Baseball, 1, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column 4; Patrol, 3, 4. For a while we thought “Fitz” was working up at the ice house, but when his car got stuck on the Pond road at 4:30 one morning we changed our mind. “Fitz” has to do his rushing in the winter because Jack is home during the summer. GERALD FLYNN General “Flynnie “ Sometimes 1 sit and think sometimes 1 just sit ” Glee Club, 4; School Column, 3. Gerald was noted as the most polite boy in the class and he certainly de- serves it. Some day he will probably own Shaw’s Pharmacy. ROBERT FOWLER General Bobby “ How my thoughts wander” Junior Prom, 3; Bazaar, 3. “Bobby” is another senior who hails from North Walpole. He is Mr. Barret’s pride and joy in Sociology class. When Bobby’s thoughts and Mr. Barrett’s coincide it is another of those unexplainables. What is going on in- side that head of his no one knows. THE S A MPLER 15 JERRY GALATIS College Preparatory Jerry “An art worthy of the knowledge and practice of a wise man” Interclass basketball, 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4. Jerry is our class camera fiend. His specialty is snapping your picture when you aren’t looking. He has got some remarkable snaps of certain seniors caught off their guard. JAMES GALLAGHER General “ Mori “All the great men are dead, and I'm not feeling so well myself Spotlight Club, 4; Stage Crew, “The Cat and the Canary” 4. He’s too small to be a rat, he’s a mouse! “Mort” the sport! He’s al- ways into something and its not studying. MARIE GOUTAS General “Chappie “ Another flood of words! A very torrent! Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Spotlight Club, 8, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2. 8; Class Ring Committee, 3; Senior Hop Committee, 8; School Column, .8: “Pierre Patelin;” “His First Date;” 3, 4. Treasurer of Senior Class. Marie is our little blond bombshell who is never at a loss for words,es- pecially while talking to her typewriter. She can always take a joke. Nell most always. Just ask her about “Chappy” and Finland if you want her to explode. ELIZABETH GRIGNON General “Betty “So scandal about Queen Elizabeth, I hope! Senior Bazaar, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3; Ticket Committee for Ball Games. “Betty” is one of the quiet girls of the class. She has always been a sweet sport. We wish her the best of luck. ELIZABETH GRISWOLD General “Grizzie “ With all thy fault I lore thee still Interclass Basketball, 1, 3; Varsity Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Junior Girls Double Quintet,3;Glee (dub, 1,3,8; Spotlight,3'.Junior Prom 3 Senior Bazaar;4 Prompter and Property Manager “Opening of a Door.” 4. Betty’s love for basketball may be attributed to the fact that she got out of office practice or that a certain senior boy always attended the girls’ games. As co-captain of the team “ Betty” played a wonderful game all year in spite of the fact that her little finger frequently got sprained. If) T H E S A M P L E R EVELYN HALL General “Only silence suiteth best” 1« Erie ft (ilee Club, 3, 4. When you hear a very tiny voice somewhere in your midst it’s Evie.” She is one of the quietest girls in the class. We hear that she has some interest at V. A. We begin to wonder if her voice has more volume after three-thirty. ROGER HAMMOND College Preparatory “Hog” “It is nice to see ones name in print” Baseball, 4; Football, 3, 4; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Opera House Committee, 3; Samplet Board, 4; Announcement Committee, 4; Senior Play Committee, 4; Class Motto Committee, 4; “ Pierre Patelin,” 3; “His First Date,”“Romance is a Racket,” 4; “The Cat and the Canary,” 4. A combination of Cassanova, Romeo and Lothario—that equals Roger. He well deserved his title of the best actor. A dashing young lover from the wilds of Bartonsville. His antics with the fairer sex keep him between the devil and the deep blue sea. ROGER HARLOW General “Kay “ 117 « dances shall ice haec' Track, 2, 3; Football, 3; Ski Team, 4; Basketball, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4. “ Rog” is one of those Westminster jitterbugs who cuts a fancy rug at the school parties. Thanks, Roger, your one senior who supported the school parties. GERTRCDE HARRIS General “Gert” “ Tie study must irin the prize” Nature Club, 1; Senior Hop, 3. Congratulations to Gertrude whose studying certainly produced results. She is one of the few seniors who drives a car without risking her life and every- one elses. JOSEPH HARTY General “Joe “ Let's make hay white the sun shines” Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Ski Team, 2, 3, 4: Interclass Basketball, 1; Track, 2 Spotlight Club, 4; Committee on Class Trip, 4; Vice-president Senior Class; B. F. H. S. Banner, 3; “The ('at and the Canary,” 4. “Joe” is that red headed boy from Gageville. He did a grand job in The Cat and the Canary. He is always ready to play center on the foot- ball team if Tommy isn’t there. THE S A MPLE R 17 HELEN HEALY General Helen So rule is so general irhich admits not some exception Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 4. Mr. Olbrych did like to pick on Helen but he seldom could make her change her ideas. BARBARA HENNESSSEY General Barb It would talk, Lord how it talked” Interclass Basketball, 4; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 4. Barbara can always be found with the “gang from across the river.” How they found so much to talk about was astounding. KATHERINE HENNESSEY General Kay I would help others out of a fellow feeling Intcrclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Manager of Basketball, 4; (dee Club 1, 2; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Opera House Committee, 3; Trip Committee, 4; Senior Play Committee, 4; Sampler Board, 4; School Column. 4; “The Opening of a Door,” 4; Prompter “Pierre Patclin, 3; Prompter “Romance is a Racket,” 4. Now that “ Kay” has a license she gets around. She almost failed to get around a telephone pole in Brattlcboro one Saturday during football season. JEAN HIGGINS General Jean Wherever winds can blow, a car can go Basketball, 2; Interclass. 1, 2; Senior Bazaar, 4; Property Manager “The Cat and the Canary, 4.” With her own car, Jean is apt to be seen most anywhere. In the driving exhibition Jean came as close to stopping on a dime as is normally possible. JUANITA HINDS General Xita All the world's a stage Intcrclass Basketball, 2; Varsity, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Food Sales, 4: Reporting for Sampler, 3; “The Opening of a a Door, “The ('at and the Canary, 4.” We found “Nita” quite an actress in the Senior Class Play. My how she could roll her eyes. She discovered that the “Cat wasn t a bad dancer. 18 T HE S A MPL ER ALTA HODGKINS General Alta Her words arc very few” Committee for Freshman Reception, 4. Alta may seem quiet and reserved in school, but when she gets outside, wow! Saturday nights, she makes the walls of the I. 0. O. F. halls out at the River tremble when she starts her cavorting. ALMA HUNTOON General Alma “Old friends are best“ Orchestra. 1; Glee Club, 1, 2; Spotlight Club, 2; Senior Hop, 3; “The Poor Nut,” 2. Alma is one of those girls that makes very little noise.She doesn’t draw with pencils but she certainly makes remarkable pictures with a typewriter. RUTH H UR LB CRT General “ Ruthie “ Knowledge is power ” School Column, 4. Ruth is rather quiet but she can always answer the questions in class. Fifth honor went to Ruth. GEORGE JENKINS General “ Jenks ' “ lore to whistle Ski Team, 3, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4. George and his car were indispensible to the ski team this year. It was his car that took a load of boys to Stowe. FREDA JOHNSON Genera! Freda “ This is the short of it Senior Bazaar, 4; “The Opening of a Door,” 4. Freda is the little girl in the senior class. The only time she is on our level is when she walks down the aisle between her seated classmates in Room 11. She is one girl that really studies. T II E S A M P L E R 19 MAURICE JURKIEWICZ College Preparatory “Baldy” “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” Hockey, 1, 2, S, and co-captain, 4; Rand, 3; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Hobby Exhibit Committee, 1; Opera House Committee, 3; Sampler Hoard, 4; Motto Committee, 4; “Pierre Patelin, ” 3; “Romance is a Racket,” 4; “Opening of a Door,” 4; Stage, “(’at and the Canary;” President Junior Class, 3; Vice-President A. A. 3; Treasurer A. A., 4; Assembly Program, 4; Patrol, 3, 4, Lieutenant, 4. We hear Morrie has joined a sub-deb club. (Is it true, Morrie?) Have you been on any parties up at Hennessey’s camp lately? By the way, who is this Lillian we hear so much about? JAMES KANE Commercial “Kano “Life is a bubble” Tennis, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 2, 3; (ilee Club, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3. “Kano” isn’t so very big, but he can make a lot of confusion in English class. “Kano” is the “south end harp.” EDWARD KENT General “Eddy “ The easiest thing in life is to live” Football, 2, 3, 4; Ski Team, 3, 4; Track, 3, 4; Baseball, 2; School Column, 3. We wonder when Edward has time to study. That station wagon can be seen driving around at all hours. He even lets one senior girl drive on West- minster flats (no curves nor trees there). ANNE KISSEL General Kissel “ rare for nobody, no, not ” Anne is a rabid sports fan and a most ardent rooter of all R. F. H. S. teams. Any Thursday night will find her at the wrestling matches. Perhaps she is seriously thinking of challenging “Dynamite” Obea to a match? More power to you Anne! TONY KISSEL General “Shorty” “ A cheerful grin irill let you in Basketball, 2, 3. Tony’s sheepish grin and spontaneous wit in chemistry class is the main reason for Mr. Stock well’s cronic insomnia. Tony’s lanky frame never did wear a varsity basketball uniform, but he certainly tried hard enough. 20 THE SAM P L E K CHARLES KOSON General “Kaush” “ Perseverance orercomes everything ” Manager, basketball, 4; Opera House Committe, $. Another cabbage head in this class of ours! “Charlie” has won the ad- miration of the whole school through his determination. After leaving school and working a year, “Charlie” returned to earn his coveted sheepskin. BARBARA LEACH College Preparatory “Bobbie” “ Better by far than a hundred men of war Glee Club, 1, 4, 8, 4; All-state Chorus, 4: Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; Roman Banquet, 4; Operetta, 4. Barbara, the unpredictable! From baseball heroes to aviators is quite a jump, but she made it. Barbara can tell you the whole story of the Finnish war and then some! CHARLES LEWKOWGI General “Charlie “Oh trhy should life all labor be” Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4. One of the “Finast” boys! He is quite a basketball player. As a sophomore, he stole the show at the Burlington state tournament. Lots of luck, “Charlie.” JEAN LUCIER General Jean “ Her heart is close to the soil” Glee Club, 4; All-state Chorus, 4; Spotlight Club, 3; Freshman Reception Committee, 4; Typist for School Column, 3, 4; Sampler Board, 4; Operetta Committee, 4. When Jean was in the tenth grade, she was quite a tobogganist. Our class pres-i-dent can vouch for that. Jean wields a mean rolling pin in Home Ec! Watch out, Dick! JEAN MACPHERSON General “Bonnie “ To knoir her is to lilce her Interclass Basketball, 1, 2. One of Gageville’s glamour girls, Jean can always be found nursing a wad of gum. When Company E shoved off for camp, “Bonnie” was much more than an interested spectator. What about it, Jean? THE SA MPLER 21 GERTRUDE MANNING Commercial “for ” “Speech is golden and I'm rich School ('olumn, 3. “Gert” is notorious for two things- upsetting classes with a silly giggle and her mania for uniforms. Perhaps this explains why Webster is pursuing the janitor’s profession? RAYMOND MASSUCCO Latin “Ray” “And the htinier home (from Homeland) Football, i, 3; asketball, 1, 2. 3; Baseball, 3; Dramatic Club, 3. 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Sampler Board, 4; “Pierre Patelin,” 3; “Cat and the Canary,” 3; Senior Assembly Program, 4; President A. A., 4; Treas- urer Junior Class, 3; Stage for Teachers’ Plays, ■i, 3; School Patrol, 1, 'I, 3, Captain. Ray” got a bad break in football, but it wasn’t long before he was again touring the countryside under his unofficial title of foreign ambassador of B. F. H. S. “ Ray” does a lot of hunting, but the “game” he goes after is always in season. THERESA McAULIFFE General Theresa “She'd rather he with a man than an angel anytime Interclass Basketball, i, 3; Varsity, 4; Cheerleading, 3; Captain, 4; Glee Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Opera House Committee, 3; Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 4; “The Necklace,” 3; “His FirstDate,” 4. Although Theresa is a cheerleader, it’s dramatics that she’s interested in. “Mac” is a wonderful help and can always be counted on as a willing back stage hand. GERALD McGINNIS College Preparatory Jerry Play out the play Interclass Basketball, 1. Spotlight Club, 4; “Romance is a Racket,” 4. For two reasons the sophomore class appeals to “Jerry.” He has a fine capacity for arguing with Mr. Stockwell to stall the chemistry period. More wind to you, “Jerry”! JAMES McMENNAMIN General Mac Much praying, but no piety Football, 3, 4; Basketball, 3, 4: Baseball, 2, 3, 4. “ Mac” is an athelete with ability. He’s exceptional on the gridiron, the court, and the diamond. His determination to succeed carried him from the J. Y.’s to varsity co-captain in a year. He can usually be found holding down a cushion in “Bob” Crotty’s car. 22 T II E S A M P I, E R GLORIA MENARD College Preparatory (Horia Gloria, lei silence be commended Orchestra, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; School Column, 3, 4; Freshman Reception Committee, 4. Gloria can always be seen coming into Room Eleven just as the last bell rings. We don’t know the reason for the last minute arrival, but we are suspicious. No matter, her lessons always seem to be done and she certainly knows how to keep quiet. WALTER MINER General “Pop” “ Laugh and the world laughs with you Football, 2, 3; Raseball. 1, 2, 4; Glee Club, 2, 4; All-state Chorus, 4; School Column, 3, 4; Stage Manager, “Opening of a Door,” 4. “Lefty Pop Groove” Miner, the happy-go-luckiest boy in the class. Seriously, now. Pop what’s the meaning of those long treks to Rutland you’ve been in the habit of making? RICHARD MOORE General Dick All's well that ends teell Football, 4. We hear that Gageville is a “happy medium” between Bellows Falls and Saxtons River—or was it merely engine trouble, Dick? EDWARD MORSE General Abner Why make one girl happy and millions miserable Ski Team, 2, 3, 4; Captain Ski Team, 4; Track, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3. “Abner” has been awfully scared since he started reading “ Lil Abner.” He is afraid that he’ll find Daisy Mae. By the looks of his date book, he’s trying hard. “Abner” really is a man of few words. He believes in skipping the details. We wonder if he regards school as a detail? LAWRENCE O’CONNOR General Skeezy Better late than never Junior Prom, 3. “Skeezy” is the wild man from Saxtons River. We didn’t hear much from “Skeezy’s” corner of the room this year. He was either serious for once in his life, or else he got sick of bothering Mr. Osborn. THE S A MP LE R 23 GEORGE PARKER General “Porky” “Speed is not a needed factor Glee Club, 2; Dramatic Club, 4; Junior Prom, 3; ‘‘(’at and the Canary,” 4. “Porky” is a very good driver—especially at two o’clock in the morning. Rumors have circulated that George took lessons driving a locomotive before he got the “Car.” So, you teachers, if George raises his voice, it’s only be- cause he’s used to yelling above the din of the shuddering “Chevy.” ROBERT POTTER College Preparatory “Motto' “A studious path leads to honor” School column, 3, 4. The valedictorian of the Senior Class. “Bobbie” is one of the products from the Westminster farm country, and he’s proud of it. He’s worked for his honors and we’re all more than glad to see him get them. Best of luck to the little boy with the big “I. Q. ” RAYMOND POWERS General “Tubby” “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing (ilee Club, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 4. As one of the fair-haired boys from Westminster, Ray upholds the tradi- tion of being quite a sport. He can usually be seen cavorting around in a green dragon “that clinks and clanks” but gets there. His favorite trick to get the fairer sex mad, is to hide when there’s a lady’s choice at the school dances. SHIRLEY RANDALL English “Shirttail” “ Bait the hook with a smile Glee Club, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4. Shirley is one of those girls who never can keep their shoes on. They hurt her feet. Ask her how she felt when Moran took her shoes and hid them in English class. Her voice is very soft and quiet when she wants it to be. CARL RANSOM General “ Ted “Calmness is not always the attribute of innocence Carl belongs to the main room gang, and he gave Mr. Osborn a merry time hopping up the aisle this year. •24 THE S A M� PL E R WILLIAM ROBINSON College Preparatory “ Willie'' “I am the best of them” Hockey, 3, 4: Junior Prom, 3. Mr. Holder says goodbye to Willy, his right-hand man, with, quote, “ He was the best hockey manager I ever had.” Seriously, Willy, that Vermont Sesquicentennial Essay “you” wrote was swell. PAULINE ROGENSKI General “Polly “Newt, old news, and such news as you never heard of Glee Club, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4. Polly is another of Miss Madigan’s Home Ec. wizzards. Her food al- ways manages to come out just right and is always safe to eat. She and Helen Smith know all the news that is fit to print—and tell it. VIRGINIA ROSE College Preparatory Gin “She who trifles with all is less likely to fall than she who trifles with one Interclass basketball, 4, 3; Glee Club, 1, 4, 3, 4; Operetta, 4; All State Chorus, 4: Dramatic Club, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 3: School Column, 3, 4; “His First Date,” 4; “The Cat and the Canary , 4; Property Manager, “Pierre Patel in. Virginia is often called the 1). A. R. girl. She goes into the teachers’ room third periods to get news for the B. F. II. S. school column. Or is it all for the column, Virginia? GEORGE ST. LAWRENCE General “Jeff “Silence ran be so deceiving Football, 4: Interclass Basketball, 4, 3; Junior Prom, 3. George is a quiet, reserved type of student until he gets out of school. Then you can’t tell what he’ll do next with the help of his partners in crime. George may be “knocking ’em down” in Cray’s alleys or “setting ’em up” in Whelans. JAMES SHAUGHNESSY General “Shaug” “ lore to lire in the suburbs ’ One of the boys from North Walpole who has a knack for getting along with everybody. He can usually be found inside of a Boys’ Club jacket, any- where in the vicinity of Whelans and North Walpole. His favorite sport is hunting—in the middle of the square. T H E SAMP LER 25 RICHARD SHAUGHNESSY General “Dick” “('lothex make the man—or help” (ilcc Club, 1, 2; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3. Dickie is one of our “butterfly students. He flits from one idea to an- other. His incessant game of “tag” in the front of room 11 was a constant menace to Mr. Osborn. If looks could kill. “Dick” would be the late Mr. Shaughnessy. Dickie is popular though; he has beauties following him from the “Rec” in Keene to the General store in Charlestown. TONY SHELC College Preparatory “ Poocho' “Fondness is the root of eril“ Baseball, 2; Basketball, 2, 8, 4; Football, 2, 3; Tennis, 3. A quiet, reserved boy, who calmly takes in everything that comes his way; for example, the three-page assignments that Miss Varnum gives him. He's quite a sportsman though, and takes quite a part on the basketball and base- ball teams. JAMES SLATTERY General “Slats' “ There's nothin' like an Irishman” Interclass Basketball. 3; Basketball, 4; Junior Prom, 3. 'Phe “Daniel Boone” of the senior class who blazes a trail between Bellows Falls and Brattleboro; apply to him for more information about the landscape. He’s the quiet type in school, but when he “hits the road he does it in a big way. HELEN SMITH General “Smitty” “ They gossip'd side hi side “ Interclass Basketball. 1, 2; Co-captain, Basketball, 3, 4; Dramatic Club. 3. “Smitty” is certainly a go-getter. To see Helen play basketball just once you know that she is our best girl athelete. Helen is giving up her position on the basketball team to guard a desk at Gay’s Express. Good luck, Smitty. WALTER SMITH General “Sn ! “ Keeping up frith the Times (office)” Dramatic Club, 4; Stage Manager, “The (’at and the Canary,’ 4; Stage Crew, “The Opening of a Door,” 4. Another inmate of the senior class who hails from “across the river. Walt can usually be seen with the “hangmen in the front of room 11. He’s the boy that wore in the path between the high school and the Times Office. 26 THE S A M V L E R WARREN SMITH College Preparatory “Sunity “Florida' swell for scenery” Captain, Tennis, 3; Skiing, 8; Tennis, 8, 4: Interclass Basketball, 1, Z; School ( olumn, 8, 4. Remember the boy who came back from the “Sunny South” with the tan (or was it blush) ami no accent. Ask him to show you the photographs of Morida scenery that lie carries in his wallet. He can usually be found chugging in a sport roadster between Swift’s gas station and the North End. JOSEPHINE STAMBO General “Josie “Good things come in small packages” Junior Prom, 8. “Josie is the girl that established a record pace between the North Walpole stamping grounds and the high school. She always “hits the road” early and someday hopes to get to school before Dan Brown. She’s one of the “Madame La Zongas” of the polka and really makes the boys ‘‘pep it up.’. PAULINE STONE General “Polly “ There's nobody that compares with Willie, the Gas-House boy.' Interclass Basketball, Z, 8; Cheer-leader, 1, Z, 8, 4; Orchestra, 1; Dra- matic Club,, 8, 4; Senior Hop, 8; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 8, 4; “His First Date,” 4: Property Manager, “The (’at and the Canary.” Folly is the girl that made Mr. Olbrych smile at the wonderful way she did bookeeping (or was he laughing). If you want to see Polly, just go down and rattle one of the gas pumps at the Esso Station on Westminster Street. MAR) St LLIVAN (ieneral “Sully “I'm tracking tracks of track men” Interclass Basketball, Z, 3; Cheerleader, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, Z Dramatic Club, 3. 4; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; “ Romance is a Racket, ” 4; Prompt- er, “His First Date”, 4. Heres a girl that s usually in the middle of things. Either all stuck up in the paste jars, helping out on the decorating committee, or helping wear out the basketball floor. One of the blond beauties of the senior class is “Sully” and it looks as though Pete knows it. MALISSE TAYLOR (ieneral “Molly “ almost believe it 'cause I'm almost from Missouri” School Paper, 4. Well, South Dakota sure came into its prime when Malisse came to B. F. H. S. She has no corn-husking accent though, and is getting along very weli in the book-lamin’ line. One of the idols of English and Chemistry classes, Malisse can tell you Einstein’s theory, or Miss Yarnum’s. THE S A M PLE R n MARILYN THAYER English “Cookery is become an arf, a noble science” “Lyn t 9 Glee Club, 1, 2, 8, 4; All-State Chorus, 4. “Lyn” certainly proved her sportsmanship after her accident on the basketball court. We admire the way she came back and made up her work without complaining. Why is “Lyn” taking up Home Ec. next year? Heart trouble? Could be. M ARY THOMPSON (ieneral “ Thompson” “ As good to be out of the teorld as out of style” (ilee Club, 1, 2; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4; “Romance is a Racket,” 4. Mary would be very good at writing “advice to the lovelorn.” Is she the voice of experience or where does she get it? ELEANORA WALSH (ieneral “Walshie “Silence, more musical than anything (ilee Club, 2; School Column, 3, 4. Eleanors goes her own way in school, but we understand she has many activities outside of classes, (iood luck in your nursing profession Eleanors! JOHN WAYSVILLE General “I'm the big boy” “Shoestrings” Football, 3, 4; Track, 4. All-state tackle on the second eleven, Johnnie didn’t get half the credit he deserved. He travels around with a guy named Koson. JOSEPHINE WAYSVILLE General “ Josie “She is generally speaking, generally speaking” “Josie just loves to talk, and talk, and talk. We never could figure out why Mr. Holder preferred her to any other of the ticket sellers. 28 THE SAMPLER MADELYN WAYSVILLE General “ Maddie “ Herr, there, and everywhere Interclass Basketball, 4; Dramatic Club, 3. “ Maddie is a swell kid with a grand disposition. To top that off, she is a good student. What a combination. ROBERT WEBSTER General “Jasper “ Faint heart ne'er iron fair lady” Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3. “Romeo” is the only quiet boy in the class. He swings a mighty mean broom though. SHIRLEY WILLARD General “Shirr “ The best tray to hare a friend is to be one Interclass Basketball, 1, £, 3; School Column, 3, 4; “The Opening of a Door,” 4; Dramatic Club, 3; Secretary, A. A., 3; Sampler Board, 4. Shirley hails from the big metropolis of Gagcville where the fair lady practices her dentistry lessons in her spare time. Denistrv is her hobby. She is crazy about driving, but no one has a fair chance for his life when she is at the wheel. JA NE WILLIAMS College Preparatory “ Lulu “ Who trill go far trill go slotr Interclass Basketball, 1, i: Dramatic Club, 3. Jayne, who hails from that lazy little hamlet, south of this mighty metro- polis, has proved herself a very likeable person. We don’t say she’s inclined toward somnolency, but her grandfather was a guy named Van Winkle. MERRILL WRIGHT General “Wright “How street the answers School Column, 4. We wonder what Merrill will do when he can’t borrow someone’s paper or the answer book. How disgusted Merrill gets when the teachers confuse him with Webster. We all want our individual identity. THE SAMPLER 29 ANNA ZANKEWICZ deneral “Shorty” “Happy ain , from rare I'm free Why aren't they all content like me Dramatic Club, 8; Senior Hop, 8; “The Poor Nut,” 8; School Column, 8. Any time that you hear a weird, high-pitched voice resounding through the hall, don’t be alarmed. It’s only little Annie laughing. CLARK ZENO College Preparatory “Tapper “In deep sleep, yet he seemed all airake” Baseball, 4; Glee Club, 4; Dramatic Club, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 3: Senior Hop. 8; “ Pierre Patelin,” 3; “ His First Date,” 4; “The Cat and the Canary,” 4. Hey, “Tupper,” Whose ring is that on your little finger? Just ask “Tup” why he’s always willing to make those long trips to Burlington, even in a truck. RICHARD BROUGH “ Windy Oh, hoir the irind doth blow Two to one says that “Windy” is a much more quiet boy in the Army than he was in school. When hydrogen sulfide was liberated in a certain teacher’s pocket one day “Windy” went around school with a very suspicious smile. GLYNN CRAPO rrts “Man of Destiny Bellows Fall’s contribution to the I . S. Army. Glynn’s absence from school was greatly missed as he was always on hand to help out on whatever was to be done. Glynn always looks for u chance to advance himself and we hope his choice of the Army fulfills his wishes. PATRICIA LERNE General “Pat “Speaking is silver, silence is golden Glee Club, 1, 2; Junior Prom, 8. A little bit of Ireland from the New Terrace, that sphinx-like quietness may fool you, but she’s not so green! 30 THE S A MP LER MARGARET LLOYD General “Peggy An ounce of mirth is north a pound of sorrow Glee Club, 4; Dramatic Club, 3, 4. «ne of those very rare North Walpolites who spends most of her time in the lusty metropolis. Perhaps the thrill she pets out of riding a motorcycle is reason enough? DAVID MONETTE General Rock Mind him who can, the ladies call him sweet” Ski Team, 3, 4; Rand, 1, 2; Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 3, 4. David is one of the Cherry Hill-Williams, and his cheerful grinning face will be sorely missed by the teacher of Room 13. ARNOLD NOYES General Sonny ' Had he been Adam he would hare tempted Ere Rand and Orchestra, 2, 3, 4; All-state Orchestra, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 4. “Sonny” is a staunch member of the band and orchestra. He plays a clarinet and when he and “Red” Clowes get together, there’s an awful lot of squeaking done. CLARENCE STEWART General Stooge He dragged the lion from its den” Here’s a big boy who makes your ribs rattle with the affectionate pat on the back that he greets you with. A great hunter and fisherman, Charlie usually succeeds in catching at least a cold for the long days he’s tramped in the woods. c S E N NAME EXPRESSION CATHERINE BARBER I'm on a diet PAUL BLAKE That’s right, ki i MARGARET BODINE Heavens!

FIRST: It is our will that all our debts in Whelans be fully paid and that our executors hereinafter named provide, at their expense, and erect a suitable monument to perpetuate our memory in annals of Bellows Falls High School. SECOND: We give, devise and bequeath to all succeeding classes the exclusive right to give out with the low, monotonous chant of the “Volga Boatmen” daily heard in Room 11, combating all the harassed efforts of Mr. Osborn to quell this storm of off-key moaning. THIRD: We give, devise and bequeath our more personal belongings to the follow- ing deserving people, wheresoever located, to hold as their property absolutely.

We then tell him the results of the class meeting held in February, when we elected Joseph Landers to lead our class. Donald Murphy was chosen as his assistant. To take the notes and keep the books we elected Pauline Morley. We entrusted Francis Porter with our money. Next our visitor wants to know the names of all these ambitious looking juniors. Kven though it takes a little of our time, we are very obliging and name them all for him: Katherine Abbott, Natalie Barnes, Faith Bartlett, Richard Bates, Mary Blake.

We do not want our visitor to think that the junior girls are too insignificant; so, we tell him the girls who play on the girsl’ Varsity basketball team. They are: Alberta Buzzell, Mary Haggins and Leila Taylor.

Ellison Lee, Saul Miller, and Richard Hooper are capable representatives of the bovs’ share in the Glee Club. Our visitor has heard of the Junior Prom which is held every year and wonders how it went this year. We assure him that it was a very successful event. The chairmen and their committees all did very well. The chairmen are as follows: J. Moriarty, refreshment com- mittee; Ann Cray, business committee; Leila Taylor, decoration committee; J. Masten, cloakroom committee The hostesses representing the junior class contributed, a great deal to the success of the evening. They are as follows: Faith Bartlett, Shirley Bush, Alberta Buzzell, Margaret Moore, Charlotte Muzzey, and Eloise Wilson. Our visitor expresses his appreciation of our having spent so much time telling him about the juniors and in leaving his farewell words are that he hopes to see us all industrious seniors next year. C_ 44 T H E S A M P I. E R Class of ’43 Class of ’44 DRama T HE S AMP LER 47 SENIOR DRAMATICS The Seniors have had a banner year in their dramatic efforts. In all, four productions were given and each met with well rounded applause. The Senior Dra- matics ('lub organized late in the year, accomplished a great deal in the brief expanse of its existence. The club sent a one act play to the district contest held at Townshend and furnished the capable stage crew for the Women’s Club play, “Kind Lady.” THE OPENING OF A DOOR “The Opening of a I)oor,“ a play of the supernatural in one act, was directed by Mr. Sykes. The cast of characters was as follows: Ester Fraser, Juanita Hinds; Martin Fraser, Hichard Brough; Mrs. Parrish, Kay Hennessey; Ruth Parrish, Shirley Willard; Owen Bennett, Maurice Jurkiewicz; Lottie, Kay Barber; The Voice, Freda Johnson. The plot centered about the mysterious, unsolved death of David Parrish, shot while hunting in a fog bound marsh. The crisis arrives at the stroke of mid- night when the soft eerie wail of the ghost of David, blended with the winds plaintive moan, demands en- trance into the house. Admitted by Owen, the in- visable being attacks the killer, Martin Fraser, who frantically throws himself over a jagged precipice to es- cape clutching death at the hands of the spectre. HIS FIRST DATE The second of the annual Thanksgiving plays was a one act comedy under the title “His First Date,” directed by Mr. William Cantwell. The cast of this play was as follows: Henry Tippett. Roger Hammond; Evelyn Tippett, Theresa McAuliffe; Mr. Frederick Tippett, Clark Zeno; Mrs. Tippett, Virginia Rose; I.oraine Lotus, Marie Goutas; the maid, Pauline Stone. The plot of this fast moving comedy centers around Henry Tippett and his admiration for a certain movie queen, Loraine Lotus. It seems that Henry had been corresponding with Miss Lotus for some time. The upshot of all this was that he had invited Miss Lotus to spend some time at his house and t«� look over the city. When Mr. Tippett got wind of this he was furious and ordered Henry to break the date, but Loraine came in before Henry could do so. It happened that Lorain Lotus was not quite as young as Henry had expected, but in reality was an old flame of Mr. Tippett. When Mr. Tippett walked into the room and saw Lorraine you can imagine how embarrassed he was. To smooth things over he let Henry take Miss Lotus out and tried to get rid of her as soon as possible, but not, however, until she had reminded him, in front of his wife, of the times they had had together. ROMANCE IS A RACKET “Romance is a Racket,” the Senior Dramatic Club production directed by Mr Barret was presented twice, once at the district contest in Townshend and again at the high school auditorium. The cast was as follows: Luigi, Roger Hammond: Miss Edith, Kay Barber; Nell, Marie Goutas; Wally, Gerald McGinnis; Kitty, Mary Ellen Sullivan; Angeline. Mary Thompson: Bill. Maurice Jurkiewicz. The play, a farce comedy, takes place at a lonely Italian Inn on the road from Amalfi. A party of young Americans, Nell, Wallie, Angeline an I Kitty, chaperoned by their Aunt Edith are travel- ing in Italy when they meet up with a carriage break- down “racket.” They are forced to stay at a nearby inn run by Luigi, who has learned a few American tricks and a lot of bad American slang while visiting his brother in Brooklyn. The play has a “ mouse-turns-man ” plot, when Wallie becomes the hero in an artificial bandit scare en- gineered by Bill, a fellow American. The ruse falls apart and the plotters are saved disgrace by Wallie who succeeds ill subduing the unexpected menace— Luigi's racketeer brother. Wallie is badly bruised in the process but is rewarded when Nell confesses that “he is the man for her.” THE CAT AND THE CANARY Surpassing any performance heretofore given in the auditorium by a student dramatic group “The Cat and the Canary” played before a capacity audience. The spine chilling mystery comedy was masterfully directed by Mr. Donald Kellogg. The cast of characters in the order of their appearance was as follows: Mammy Pleasant, Helen Marie Cyrs; Roger Crosby, (’lark Zeno; Harry Blythe. Roger Hammond; Susan Sillsby, Judith Currier; (’icily Young, Juanita Hinds; Charlie Wilder, Gerald Rice; Paul Jones, Joseph Ilartv; Anna- belle West, Virginia Rose; Hendricks, Ray Massucco; Patterson, George Parker. The action of the entire play takes place at the gloomy Glencliff Manor on the Hudson. At an odd whim of the late Mr. Wilder, a millionaire, the six last living heirs of his estate are gathered to hear his will read at the fantastic hour of midnight. The will is in three envelopes, the first is an explanation of Mr. Wilder’s action, the second contains the actual will and the third envelope is not to be opened unless the heir named is proven insane. Since the family’s lawyer, Roger Crosby, discovers that the seal has been broken and carefully replaced he is mysteriously murdered. The killer masks his identity by posing as the Cat,” a human being with a fiendish cunning and a lust for blood. Nearly successful in his attempt to frighten Annabellc West, the present heir, into insanity, he is finally caught by the combined efforts of Paul Jones and Harry Blythe. The “Cat” unmasked is Charlie Wilder, the next heir to Glencliffe Manor. Paul Jones, bouyed up by his deed of heroism finally proposes to Anna belle, whereupon she accepts. The play was the biggest dramatic undertaking ever attempted by the senior class. Not only was the act- ing difficult but the stage demanded a tricky and elaborate arrangement. The entire production was, nevertheless, a smooth flawless performance. Virginia Rose turned in a commendable job as Anna- belle West. Roger Hammond proved his versitalitv as Harry Blythe. Making the biggest hit with the audience and nearly stealing the show, Raymond Massucco was brilliant as Hendricks. The remainder of the exceptionally fine cast gave a well balanced per- formance. 'Phe stage crew under Walter Smith built to a per- fection an elaborately paneled set complete with secret walls and hidden openings. Barbara Leach acted as prompter while Jean Higgins and Pauline Stone were property managers. «« Music 50 THE SAMP I, E R GLEE CLUB This year the glee club consists of ninety members. The club offers many opportun- ities to the students who wish to become members. It not only discovers and devel- ops talent, but is provides an entertaining activity for those interested in music. Miss Stewart makes a fine instructress and makes glee club very enjoyable for the members. The Senior Octet seems to have been broken up somewhat this year. The members are as follows: Herbert Chandler, Donald Coleman, Judith Currier. Barbara Leach, Jean Lucier, Walter Miner, Virginia Rose, and Marilyn Thayer. The accompanists were: Margaret Bodine, Clarence Downing, Henrietta Jurkiewicz, and Patricia Sanborn. They woked hard for the glee club and deserve much credit. The junior girls have a very active octet, making it possible for them to participate in many assembly programs. The following girls make up the octet: Katherine Abbott, Alberta Buzzell, Katherine Cray, Carol Dick- inson, Christine Lovell, Leila Taylor, Marion Thompson, and Lois Wartman. The sophomores also have a nice sounding octet and we feel sure that they will make a very presentable junior octet next year. The girls who make up this group are as follows: Bernice Buzzell. Jeanne Davis, Jean Fabian, Janice Hartwell, Marilyn Herrick, Henrietta Jurkiewicz. Patricia Sanborn, Marjorie Stev- ens, and Rachel Willard. On Wednesday evening, December 18, the Glee Club presented its annual Christmas Concert. It was the best and most varied the club has given. May 9 and 10 the senior octet and a few juniors attended the Vermont Music Festival at Burlington. The juniors who went are: Alberta Buzzell, Ann Cray, Thatcher Knight, Ellison Lee, Leila Taylor and Marion Thomp- son. This group sang at the P. T. A. meeting on May 12 and at graduation on June 11. On Friday, May 23, the club presented a musical play “ Viennese Serenade, ” based on the life and music of Franz Schubert. This play was written by Miss Stewart while in summer school. She wrote it, using the ma- terial that was available, with the Glee Club in mind. The members of the cast are: Mrs. Grob, Barbara Leach; Berta, Elizabeth Williams; Therese Grob, Patrica Sanborn, Karoline Tickler, Henrietta Jurkiewicz; Johanna, Jean Fabian; Rosa, Bernice Buzzell; Elspeth, Jeanne Davis; Maria, Marilyn Herrick; Heinrich Grob, Herbert Chandler; Mrs. Sehober. Virginia Rose; Franz Schober, That- cher Knight; Johann Vogl, Saul Miller; Louis Mayrhofer, Ellison Lee; Franz Schu- bert, Richard Hooper; Antonio Salieri Clarence Downing; Count Esterhazy, Gerald Cray; Countess Esterhazy, Marilyn Thayer; Baron Schonstein, Donald Coleman; Count Stefan, Thatcher Knight; Anna Frohlich, Ann Cray; Kathi Frohlich, Alberta Buzzell; Joscfinc Frohlich, Marion Thompson; Barbara Frohlich, Leila Taylor; Franz Grillparzer, Robert Streeter and the three pupils of Anna Frohlich, Katherine Abbott, Carol Dickin- son. and Patrica Sanborn. The members of the glee club made up the chorus of villagers and are as follows: Bertha Ballou. Beatrice Barnes, Theresa Carignan, Charlotte Chandler, Thelma Foley, Sophie Goutas, Theresa MaePhee, Esther Parry, Min- nie Peck. Rhoda Pollard, Mary Romano, Flora Shattuck and Eloise Wilson. Much credit for the success of the play goes to Mr. Osborn for his efficient directing. INSTRUMENTAL M USIC As the curtain closed upon the second year of Mr. White’s able leadership of the High School band and orchestra, we cannot but marvel at the improvement shown. During his two years as instrumental music in- structor, Mr. White has brought out some fine talent, especially from the junior high. Three members of the orchestra, Norman Clowes, Ken Congdon, and Arnold Noyes, played in the all-state orchestra at Bur- lington this year. Clowes and Noyes gave a very credible account of themselves on the clarinet and Ken Congdon did an excellent job with the baritone. Next year should be one of the most success- ful in a long time for the band and orchestra. We are all looking forward to that day when Bellows Falls High School can again be re- presented at the Vermont State Music Festival by an entire band and orchestra. T II E S A M P L E R .51 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS The assembly programs contributing to school enjoyment provided a wide scope of entertainment. There were some very ex- cellent musical programs given during the year. The best was perhaps the selections offered by the two blind musicians, Mr. Robert Barrett and Mr. Rubens. Their amazing versatility received sustained ap- plause from an appreciative audience. The Vermont Academy Boys’ Glee Club provided an enjoyable program. The most appealing number sung was the popular English hunting song, “John Peel.” A portion of the Christmas Concert was given by our own Glee Club. A true spirit of Christmas was reflected in the beautiful carols sung. The best received speaker of the year was undoubtedly Major Bill Hayes. His subject, “Good Sportsmanship,” was given in a very unusual manner. His rapid fire de- livery along with humorous anecdotes made a hit with the students. On May 6, the ever obliging seniors put on an assembly program that still has the school talking. The clever script was written by ingenious Raymond Massucco who also acted as master of ceremonies. The program was a radio feature sponsored by “ Pasty Goo Brushless Shaving Cream.” The program opened with Barbara Leaches rendition of “The Top O’ the Morning to You My Dear.” Clark Zeno then played “Spring Fever” and “The Woodpecker Song.” Next on the program was the “Caruso” of B. F. 11. S., Donald Coleman, who sang “Give a Man a Horse lie Can Ride. “Irwin Cowing amused the audience with two harmonica solos. For the next few minutes confusion reigned as the aggressive Massucco tried to extract from Clowes and Congden a “Dua- lette” to the delight of the audience. Pauline Donnelly twisted her self into so many shapes and sizes that the onlookers were gasping. So with the soothing strains of “ Deep Purple ” played by Maurice Jurkiewicz, dying away; the makers of “Pasty Goo Brushless Shave” brought to a close their program with the enthusiastic applause of the audience de- manding more. c ' AND MO It K DRIBBLES A GIFT (with apologies to the author of “Trees”) I think that I shall never see A gift, like that one you gave me, A gift, you said, that I could wear Around my neck, helow my hair; I knew you’d send it straight to me; 1 did not mind the C.

Donald Coleman 52 F HE S AMPLER 54 THE SAMPLER FOOTBALL 1940 Inaugurating a new system, a combination of the mid western offensive employed by both Bierman and Waldorf; the new mentor. Coach Lyman Abbott turned out a very creditable team. Using an unbalanced line to the right, plays were run from a single w ing or double wing formation. The attack from the single wing to the right with the fast and elusive Bush way in the tail back position proved to be a very powerful, ground gaining offensive. The double wing with McMenni- man in the slot was used to run off tackle slices, line plunges and tricky reverses. To surprise the opponent and add variation to the attack, a single reverse with Crotty lugging the melon to the left without blockers, was amazingly successful. In climaxing the season, the All State squad included eight Purple and White gridsters. Four men were voted on the first team; Bush way, quarterback; Fitz- gerald, center; Landers and Bice. ends. Waysville held down the tackle position on the second team while three men received honorable mention; Capron, guard; Crotty and Kent, backs. Hampered by severe injuries and dogged by bad luck, the Purple grid machine ended the season with the re- cord of four wins, two ties, and one loss. The only blemish on the otherwise spotless slate, was the defeat suffered at the hands of the Vermont schoolboy Champ- ions, Brattleboro. The final game with the highly touted Green Wave of Springfield ended in a 0-0 tie. The Abbott men approached the last white line twice but the drive fell short of victory. A good deal of credit should go to Mr. Barrett and Mr. Cantwell, assistant coaches, without whom Coach Abbott would have had a tough time. The letter men were: John Barry, Emerson Bowen, Michael Brennan, Daniel Brosnahan, Ernest Bushway, Theodore Capron, Robert Crotty, Paul Fitzgerald, Thomas Fitzgerald, Capt., Gordon Fontaine, Roger Hammond, Roger Harlow, Joseph Harty, Gordon Jacobs, Ralph Kemp, Edward Kent.

The greenness of the combine was quite apparent in the initial part of the season, but as the grind wore on, the passing became more accurate, the team-play-closer knit and the shooting deadlier. The highlight of the season came in the last game against Mount St. Joseph. Crotty began popping his one hand shots and caged an amazing total of twenty-nine points, a league record breaking tally. Another reason for the somewhat disappointing season was the overwhelming schedule of twenty games. Playing three ball games a week against stiff competition will wear out even a veteran team. With but two men, co-captains Crotty and Me- Men n Amin graduating, B. F. H. S. can look forward to a promising season next year. Coach Abbott had his charges working out in the Easter recess, developing fundamentals and team play. The letter men were: Barry, Brosnahan,Crotty, Huntoon, Landers, Masten, McMennamin, Miller, Murphy, and Raymond.

Although several of the girls were on last year’s team, only one had played on the first string. For the third time in succession, the girls on the team elected co- captains. The girls chosen, Betty Griswold and Helen Smith, were seniors and played guard positions. In all, there were sixteen players. At guard posi- tion, besides the two captains, were Rita Flynn, Janice Hartwell, Juanita Hinds, Maxine Raymond, Leila Taylor, and Lorraine Willard. The other eight, who played forward positions were; Mary Bodine, Alberta Buzzell, Patty Driscoll, Mary Haggins, Theresa Mc- Auliffe. Helen Michniewicz, Jacqueline Roby and Jean Stack. There was no real first string this year be- cause the girls were quite evenly matched. The team was coached by Miss Newell, who found her team willing to try any new plays or corrective suggestions she had to offer. The manager Katherine Hennessey and her assistant Lois Wartman are to be congratulated on their efficient work.

HOCKEY 1940-1941 THE S A MPLE R BASEBALL 1940 55 A fast, hard skating hockey sextet, coached by Mr. Holder, cinched the state championship this year. Employing the Harvard system. Coach Holder was highly successful in his efforts. The closely knit line of Bushway, Porter, and Jurkiewicz, who have played together for three years, had a bewildering passing attack and a remarkable scoring punch. A rugged defense combination of Fitzgerald and Bice along with the cool-headed goalie. Lawlor, proved to be a monkey wrench in the machine of the opposing offensive. The alternating team was as fast and as aggressive but was not as successful in finding the range of the nets. The climax of the season was a 1-0 victory over the Walpole, Mass. Combine. Caging the rubber in the first period, the Purple and White played defensive hockey the rest of the game to emerge victorious. According to Mr. Holder “this was the best team I’ve had since I came to Bellows Falls. They worked hard, smoothly, and showed a great deal of fight and spirit. ” The lettermen were as follows: Bowen, Bush way, ('apron, Fairbrother, P. Fitz- gerald, T. Fitzgerald, Higgins, Jurkiewicz, Captain; Kemp, Lawlor, McMahon, F. Porter, J. Porter, Rice, Captain; Vosburgh, and Robinson, Manager. Summary: Bellows Falls 2 V. A. 0 � � 4 V.

Although the team as a whole did not capture any meets, individuals placed in every meet. Coach Stock well, newly converted as a skiing enthusiast, must be congratulated for his splendid work in shaping a team ably representing B. F. II. S. Lettermen were Brough, Chase, Harty, Jenkins, Leach, Lovell, and Morse, captain. The meets were as follows: Vermont Academy: 370— Bellows Falls 340 Chester Carnival: Chase second in down hill, Leach third in downhill Putney: Bellows Falls, third Keene: Bellows Falls, second Chester District Meet: Harty, first in slalom; Brough, third in jumping and slalom; Morse, third in cross country and fifth in downhill At the state meet. Bellows Falls was unable to place but their outstanding showing at the Chester district meet more than compensated for this. This year proved one of the most successful to the Bellows Falls High School baseball team that has been experienced in a Jong time. With a record of five wins and five losses in the regular season, and a loss to New- port in the State Baseball Tourney, the ability of the boys cannot be underrated. One of the great treats the school had was to see “Da” Bushway, ace hurler, pitch a no-hit, no-run game against our traditional rival, Springfield. This was the only no-hit, no-run game of the season in the State and one of the very few ever experienced in high school baseball. The team had such a fine record that they were in- vited to the State Baseball Tournament where they were defeated by Newport, 9-4. The record of wins and losses is: Bellows Falls 9 Windsor 5 ’ 7 Stevens 8 0 Stevens 7 • 17 Windsor 8 99 1 Brattleboro 2 5 Keene 0 (14 innings) D 3 Springfield 4 99 12 Brattleboro 8 • 9 6 Keene 4 99 7 Springfield 0 (no-hit, no-run) 4 Newport 9 (State Tourney) The lettermen were: Bush way, (’apron, ( .

BASEBALL 1941 With nearly a veteran team back, the high school ex- pects a highly successful season this year. So far the record is three wins against four losses with four more games to play in the regular season. The hardest fought game of the season so far was that with Claremont in which the boys were defeated 3-2. It was a pitcher's duel all the way, with Dashner of Claremont and Bushway of Bellows Falls pitching heart-breaking ball. Dame Luck, however, smiled on Claremont and errors let in two runs to win the ball game for Claremont.

The first meet was somewhat lopsided as Vermont Academy took B. F. to the tune of 74-37. The second meet was a triangular affair with Rutland and Springfield, with B. F. taking second place. The third meet was also triangular with Bellows Falls and Springfield competing against the University of Vermont Freshmen. The next triangular meet came with Brattleboro and Keene and again B. F. took second spot. Bellows Falls managed to take second place in the Southern Vermont meet held at Rutland. At the state meet the boys tied with Vermont Academy for fifth place. At the interstate meet at Hanover, N. II., Doyle tied for first place in the high jump with Hood of Dover. The following men placed in the interscholastic meet at Burlington: Doyle, second in the broad jump and third in the high jump; Magnani, third, shotput, second discus; Kent, fifth, shotput; Fontaine, fourth, javelin. The following boys were awarded letters: Aumand, Beals, Burns, Dizer, Doyle, T. Fitzgerald, Fontaine, Griswold, Kent, MaeCartney, Magnani, Masten, Mc- Mahon, Morse, O’Dette, and Perry. TRACK 1941 Although Bellows Falls is not especially noted for its strong track teams, the boys always give their opponents something to worry about and always two or three men are found who make records for themselves and the team. Opening the 1941 season with a triangular meet in which Bellows Falls, Rutland, and Springfield parti- cipated, the team made a very creditable showing and took second place by a wide margin. In this meet B. F. managed to take seven first places but lost be- cause of their inability to capture those important second and third spots. The result was 69 points for Rutland, 58 for B. F., and 16 for Springfield. The second meet was a rather disastrous affair and the boys went down to an ignominious defeat at the hands of Vermont Academy 72-36. As always, however, there are a few bright spots in even the gloomiest day, an l so it was in this case with Masten placing first in the shot, Iluntoon first in the half-mile, Fontaine first in the javelin, and Kemp and Porter tying for first place in the high jump. In the second triangular meet of the season, Bellows Falls placed third, with Brattleboro taking first and Keene second. The next meet is the Rutland District meet, and in order for any boy to go to the State Track Tourney he must at least place in one of the first five positions during this meet. TENNIS 1940 The tennis team under the able direction of Walter Olbrych ended up with 6 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie for the season. Miller held down No. 1 spot; Smith No. 2; O'Connor No. 3; Crotty No. 4; and Chase No. 5. The doubles were well taken care of by Smith and Miller in first place, with Chase and O’Connor in second. The boys defeated Orange, Mass, and Rutland in two games and Keene and Charlestown in one. Brattleboro won by a score of 5-1 and Charlestown managed to eke out a 3-3 tie. The purple racqueteers played in the state inter- scholastic meet at Brattleboro, June 24th and 25th. Bellows Falls placed second, Brattleboro taking away first place. Keene B.

This year, so far, has been no exception and the team hopes to come through its schedule unscathed. With a veteran team behind him, Mr. Olbrych hopes that once more he can cop the state tennis title, as his teams in the past have so often done. Said Miller, seeded number 1 position and also manager, is the mainstay of the team. Bob Crotty, that elusive left-handed racqueteer, is in the number 2 slot and is a very formidable opponent to the foe. Warren Smith occupies position number 3 with Timmy O’Connor and Fot Chase holding down position number 4 and 5 respectively. For the doubles the boys are paired up in this manner: Timmy O’Connor and Saul Miller, number 1 doubles; with Fot Chase and Warren Smith as number 2 doubles. The scores of the games played so far are: Bellows Falls 1 Vermont Academy 6 5 Proctor 1 7 Rutland 0 J9 6 Charlestown 0 99 7 Proctor 9 99 5 Vermont Academy 1 99 6 Claremont 0 99 5 Brattleboro 1 The following games remain to be played Bellows Falls vs. Charlestown vs. West Rutland JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL 1940-1941 Jayvee football, coached by Mr. James Barrett had a very successful season.

The manager this year was Warren Pierce. Mr. Barrett was pleased by the large number of boys that he had to work with and the enthusiasm shown by these candidates. The squad was trained in the varsity system as inaugurated by head coaeh Abbott. Mr. 58 T HE S A MP LE R Barrett says that in order to name all the promising players, would he to name the entire team. Several members will definitely he wearing varsity uniforms next fall. This, plus the retention of several ex- perienced varsity men should give Bellows Kails High School a powerful eleven for 1941. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL 1940-1941 The Jayvee basketball team, coached by Coach Ly- man Abbott, played a rather heavy schedule this year. I he total number of games played was nineteen, out of which four were won (two of these being overtime games) and the remaining fifteen lost. The boys did their best and many of the gameswere very close and exciting. Next year will undoubtedly find several of these boys on the varsity team.

The members of the team are as follows: Dexter, Dickinson, Divoll, Gillis, Hallock, Hanson, Hehb, Masten, Pencek, Raymond, Soboleski and Wright.
