We’ll remember evermore Teachers, pupils, friends so true, Parents who have helped us through. Four long years of work is gone; Now we’re ready to go on. We, the Class of '42, Wish to say good-bye to you. Don't forget us when we’re gone; We have only said: “So long.” To the days at B. F. High, To all our friends we say good-bye. Alberta Buzzell T H E S A M PLER 9 KATHARINE ABBOTT General “Kay” “ Bait the hook with a smile and you'll always get your man ” Girls’ Octet, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1; All Slate, 4; Dramatics Club, 2, 8, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2,3,4; Senior Hop, 3; “Circumstances Alter Cases,“4; “ Viennesse Serenade, ” 3. Here’s to the red-headed siren of our class. The girl who’s trying to en- tertain both Dartmouth and Cornell at the same time. Well, we can’t com- plain,—she seems to be doing all right. NATALIE BARNES College Preparatory “.Vat' “I'm tracking tracks of many men Glee Club, 2; Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4; Opera House Committee, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Class trip committee, 4: Senior Bazaar, 4; Brattleboro Reformer, 3; Bellows Falls Times, 4; “The Weathervane Elopes,” 2. They say we all need a change once (?) in a while even if it’s having a dif- ferent date every Sunday night. Never mind, “Nat,” you can still stick to your policy, “going steady’s no fun.” FAITH BARTLETT General “FaUhy” “Example is the school of mankind Cilee Club, 2, 3; Spotlight Club, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Brattleboro Reformer, 3; “Circumstances Alter Cases,” 4. Faith seems to be a regular visitor at the ('hem. Lab. every Monday night at 3:30. What’s the matter, Faith, don’t you like chemistry or doesn't chemis- try like you? You don’t have to tell us, we understand. EMERSON BOWEN General “Boogie', “He's a man, every inch of him Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Hockey, 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar. 4. Here’s one of the football heroes of our class. We know “Boogie,” as well as many others will be missed in the line up next fall. It's too bad Buicks won’t run without tires isn’t it “Boogie” then you could continue those trips to Boston. By the way, what’s the matter with the girls that are left at B. F. II. S.? PATRICK BOWEN General Patsy'' “ The hunter home from the kill Baseball 2, Dramatics Club, 4; Brattleboro Reformer, 2. The dark Casanova of our class. We seldom see him around, but we’re sure he doesn’t spend all his time at the First National. General “Mike 10 THE SAMPLER MICHAEL BRENNAN “0 sleep, it is a gentle thing Football, 2, 3. “ Mike” rightfully deserves the title of “Laziest Boy” in the senior class. We are informed (by him) that if he tied his shoe lacings it would only take extra energy to untie them. Wait until you get drafted. “ Mike.” BETTY BROOKS General “Betty “ The course of true lore nerer did run smooth!” Dramatic Club 2. 3; School Column, 3. Betty” is the girl around school from the friendly metropolis of North Walpole who has the titian hair. Often seen around yet not without “ Russ.” SHIRLEY BUSH General Butch Absence makes the heart grotr fonder Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2 Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4; Junior From, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column (Times), 3.4; School Column, (Reformer), 3; “Circumstances Alter Cases,” 4. When the time comes for the Spotlight Club to give a play, Shirley can usually be found painting scenery or prompting. To this work she Rives body and soul but her heart, we hear, is in Canada. NORMA BUSKEY General “Norm” A little body harbors a great soul Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2: Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4; Senior Flay, 4. “ Norm” did a great job hunting up properties for the senior play. Some- thing attracted her and it wasn’t the properties. Don’t let it bother you—we know “Norm” prefers the groceryman to the oilman. ALBERT BUZZELL General Bert “ Music hath charms to soothe the sarage breast Basketball, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 1. 2: Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Junior From, 3: Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column (Times), 3, 4; School Column (Reformer), 3; Home Ee Flay, 1; All-State, 3, 4: Viennesse Serenade, 3. Bert walked away with one of the most coveted honors, “Most Popular Girl.” On the basketball floor she showed her true colors as a star forward And what would the Senior Girls Octet do without Bert’s alto voice? (That’s how she became the class crooner.) THE S A M P L E R 11 GEORGE CLARK General “Bud “Better late than nerer ' Manager ski team, 4; Opera House committee, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Band, 1. 2. George is quite a host if we’re to judge by the popularity of those parties he holds out at his farm. Tell us, George, what’s the pass word? ANN CRAY College Preparatory ' Ann , “('altnne.se in not alteays the attribute of innocence Interclass basketball. 1, 2. 8; Glee Club, I. 2, 3. 4; Octet. 2. 3, 4; All-State, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; School column, 8, 4; Sumpler Board, 4; The Weathervane Elopes, 2- “Sleeping Dogs,” 4: Yien- nesse Serenade, 3; “ Heart Trouble,” 4. Ann is often seen buzzing around town with a car full of kids, destina- tion unknown. This year Ann has had a tough job trying to divide her time equally between B. F. and Dartmouth. PHYLLIS CURRIER General “Phyl “Her heart is like the moon; there's a man in it Interclass Basketball, 1; Orchestra, 1; Glee Club, 1, 3; Spotlight ( lub, 3, 4; Assembly Committee, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Brattleboro Reformer. 2. 3; Bellows Falls Times 3, 4: Sampler Board, 4. We notice “ Phyl” takes rather frequent trips up in the mountains. Is it business or pleasure that influences her to take those long rides? However, we re sure she doesn’t go alone. CAROLE DICKINSON Commercial “Dickie . “Much talk, little irork Glee Club, 1, 2. 3. 4; Girls’ Octet, 2, 8, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 3, 4; “The Weathervane Elopes, ” 2; “ Heart I rouble, 4. Talk seems to be synonymous with Carole. She made class history this year but we don’t talk about that. In “ Heart Trouble” she almost stole the show. As far as we know, there’s only one person who can manage ” Dickie.” JOSEPH DONZELLO General “Sabotage “ If there's isn't any fun, I start a circus of my own Football, 4. Another prank in room eleven means Joe is somewhere around. Y u’ll never see him without that mischievous grin on his face. At last a good nick- name has been pinned upon hin� . Good luck to you, “Sabotage, and keep on grinning. 12 THE SAMP L E R KATHERINE DOWLIN Commercial “Kay” “My heart's irith my diamond' Inter class Basketball, 2, 3; Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 3. Although “ Kay” lives ’way out in (iageville we see her often in old B. F. We hear she keeps a schedule for studying so that nothing will inter- fere with her special nights. Kay is one person in our class who has her future all settled. PAUL DOWLING General “Nig “ I come to school when there's nothing else to do ” Spotlight Club, 4; Senior Hop, 2; Junior Prom, 3; “Sleeping Dogs,” 4. Honest, “Nig,” how did you manage to sk p school so often and yet keep up your good marks? You’ve proved to us that, although you look sleepy, you’re really not. MURIEL EDWARDS General “Midge” “One of those quiet girls' Interclass basketball, 1, 2, 3. Perhaps “Midge’s” last name was part of a prophecy. Anyway a certain lad named “Eddie” spends a great deal of his time with her. Well, we all hope that you complete your ambition. ELIZABETH FARRELL General “Betty” “Maidens should he mild and meek, swift to hear and slow to speak” (ilee Club, 1, 2. “Betty” comes from V. A., er—we mean Saxtons River. Around B. F. she’s pretty quiet, but we hear she cuts quite a figure on the skating rink. HUBERT FITZGERALD General “Hugo” “It takes two to make a bargain?” Interclass basketball, 3; Baseball, 3; Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; “Circumstances Alter Cases,” 4. “Hugo” hails from North Walpole and we mean hails. Wherever any- thing is happening, that’s where you’ll find him. We think Mr. Cantwell start- ed boxing in gym for “Hugo’s” sake. He certainly needs a few lessons. T II E s A M P L E H 13 BARRY FONTAINE College Preparatory “Butch” “Our nerer lose anything by politeness Roman Banquet, .‘1, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 3, 4. The boy you see staggering around the halls under that load of books is Barry, the most studious and the smartest boy in the senior class. If you don’t believe us, just ask John McAuliffe. FREIDA FOSTER Commercial “Foster“ “Good words cost nothing, but are worth much” Senior Hop, 3. Freida lives on a farm in Rockingham and, what’s more, she spends most of her time there. Probably because it’s so close to Springfield. It’s also a great place to ski. How about it, Freida? EVELYN GALE General “Erie” “Beauty opens locked doors Without “Evie” we don’t think Mr. Osborn’s absence slips would ever have reached the office. “Evie” doesn’t seem to have much interest in B. F. We hear she’s the perfect home type in spite of the fact that she was voted the best looking girl in our class. EMILY GORHAM Commercial “Emily “Being polite never lost a friend” Emily was voted the most modest girl in the senior class and rightly so. She spends most of her time at the Manor but this doesn’t seem to interfere with her school work. Keep up the good work, Emily. MARY HAGGINS General “Flash “Basketball is her forte” Interclass Basketball 1; Varsity Basketball, I, 2, 3, 4; Captain, 4; Glee Club, 1; President of Girl’s Sport Club, 4. “Flash” attained the honors of the Best Girl Athlete and Best Sport, a combination which is the best and unsurpassable. On the basketball Hoor she showed us this was no lie. Mary!, why didn’t you tell us about your Springfield acquaintance (s?) ? We wouldn’t tell. 14 T II E S A M P I, E R DANIEL HIGGINS (ieneral “Dan” “I'm learning a lot but school interferes” Hockey, 2, 3, 4; Senior Bazaar, 4. Dan, during I he long hard winter, was the main sustainer of the hockey team and Mr. Holder. By the way, Dan, what do the Freshman Girls have that the Senior Girls lack? HICHARI) HOOPER College Preparatory “ Hooper dink” “Am I a man or a mouse?” (ilee Club, 3; School column, 3, 4; Viennesse Serenade, 3. Richard is our “mad scientist” with experiments at home and at school. By those annual vocabulary tests he certainly proved that he was a master of words. JEAN HOUGHTON General “Jean’ “.1 silent, shy, peace loving girl” Spotlight Club, 4; School Column, 4. Jean is that quiet girl with the dark hair, in case you didn’t notice her. She is a staid believer in the theory that the time to howl was outside school. EDWARD JANCEWICZ General “Eddie” “He is so good that none can be a better man (he thinks)” “Circumstantial Evidence,” 4; “Heart Trouble,” 4; “Circumstances Alter Cases, “ 4; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3. “Eddie” is the sheik of the class of 44. Although he is a very suave looking gent, he can make plenty of noise. He and his cohorts put any room they are in in an uproar. HELEN Jl RKOIC General “Helen” “One of the happy souls” (ilee Club, i; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4. If you ever want to hear a joke—go to Helen. We know from experience that she has quite a repertoire. You better hurry tho—for “the kids” take up most of her time. T H|E S A M V L E R 15 DANIEL KEEFE General Danny Speaking is silver, silence is golden Track, Interclass llaskethall, i J. . Basketball, 8. “Danny” is one of that very limited number of quiet fellows in our class. Sometimes we wonder if he really is as quiet as he seems. Perhaps it’s because he finds Walpole more interesting. RALPH KEMP General “Wimpy” A cheerful grin trill let you in Football, 1, 2, 8 4; Hockey, 8, 4; Baseball 1; Track, 8. Wimpy” is one of the best nature ! fellows this school ever had. He can take it in football and hockey too. But the senior girls would like to know what’s wrong with them. “Wimpy” avoids all his feminine classmates for freshmen worshippers, and they aren’t boys. FRANK KIMBALL General “Slat” I come to school just to get the general idea of things Baseball, 8. Frank is one of those pet peeves of the teachers. He loves to sleep and when he’s not sleeping, he’s fooling. Life is no struggle for him. But don’t get the wrong idea, he can work when he wants to. TIIATCHKR KNIGHT College Preparatory Thatch I never let studying interfere U'ith my education J. V. Basketball, 1, 4, 8; J. V. Football, 1, 4, 8; Track, Basketball Manager, 4; Glee Club, 1, 4, 8, 4; Junior Prom. 8; Senior Hop, 8; Senior Bazaar Plays, 4; Bellows Falls Times, 8, 4. “The Weathervane Elopes,” I: Sum pier Board, 4; “Heart Trouble,” 4; “ Circumstantial Evidence, ” 4; All- State, 1, 2, 8. 4. Thatcher showed his ability as an actor in three of the plays put on by our class. Besides being an actor, Thatcher can hold his own tenor part in a chorus no matter how many basses try to drown him out. WALTER KOLASKY General “ Kolasoke “ They tell me I'm the big noise in the band Baseball, 8, 4; Interclass Basketball, 8; Band 8, 4; Orchestra, 8, 4. Walter hails from North Walpole and is a big help to the band and or- chestra. During his junior and senior years, he pitched a mean ball at the batters on opposing baseball teams. If! T H K S A M I' I, E K LORRAINE LAPRENIEHE General “Aggie “Stiff water runs deep (Ilee Club. 1. 4, 3, 4. Miss Brown s fifth period English class will never forget Lorraine’s willing- ness to discuss the deep” parts of all the poems and essays. How did she manage to dig up those translations?” JOSEPH LANDERS General Joe” I'm not a hand-tome man but I am a (jay deceiver hoot ball. 4. 3, 4; ( aptain, 4; Baseball, I. 4, .4; Basketball. 4, 3; Senior ( lass President, 4; Junior Class President. 3; J. V. Football. I . J. V. Basketball, 1.4: All-State Football, 8, 4; Assembly Committee, t: Opera House Commit- tee, 3. Joe is one of the most active boys in the senior class. He was president of both his junior and senior class, a three letter man. and captain of the foot- ball team. J e also made the all-state football team his junior and senior years. FRANCIS LAW LOB General Haky Hi .v words arc very few” Hockey, I, 4, 3, 4; J. . Baseball, 4: Asst. Manager Baseball, 4: Asst. Manager Football, 4. According to Mr. Holder, “ Haky is the best goaly on any hockey team in the state. There must be something to it because B. F. has held the state championship for the last two years with Haky” right in there stopping everything that came his way. ELLISON LEE General Bugs' cannot do alt things Hockey, 3. 4: Track, 4. 3: Glee Club, 4, 3. 4: Dramatic Club, 3, 4; Schorl Column. 3, 4. “Bugs” is our southern gentleman complete even to his drawl. Maybe that’s what makes him so interesting to a certain young lady in the junior class. CHRISTINE LOVELL General Christine Much ado about nothing” Glee Club. 4. 3, 4; Dramatic Club, .3, 4: School Column, 4; “Circumstan- tial Evidence, ’’ 4. Christine is known for her sense of humor which upsets Miss Brown’s English class nearly every day. It must be that they don’t object to giggles in Charlestown. RI SSKLL MacCARTNEY T H E S A M P L E K I? (iener.il “l flr” As good to be out of the world as out of fashion Track, I, i, S; Football, i, 8; Basketball, I: Dramatic Club. i. 3, 4; School Column, 3, 4; “The Weather vane Elopes, S. “ Mac is our senior fashion plate. We think he likes re l although he doesn’t wear it. “ Mac must have quite a path worn from Webb Terrace t« North Walpole. CARA MacDONALD (ieneral “Casrara How you do talk Dramatic Club 4; School Column, 3. When ever “Cascara stops talking something must be wrong. Her favorite subject seems to be chemistry but we can't imagine why-. ROSE MAFFEO (ieneral Rosie Quietness hath its charm A true North Walpolite, “ Rosie has little use for Bellows Falls outside of school. In her commercial classes, she certainly shows up the rest of Miss Santamaria’s pupils. JOSEPH MASTEN College Preparatory Joe I'd rather hug a pig skin than any girl I know Basketball, 1, i, 8, 4: Football, 4; Track, 1, 3; Junior Prom. 3; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 3, 4. “Joe is certainly an all-around fellow. You may know about his ath- letic ability but we bet you never hear him mention his artistic ability. What’s the matter Joe? Afraid they’ll call you a sissy? JOHN McAULIFFE College Preparatory “Johnnie He walks in the shadow of llarry (Bee Club, 1; Dramatic Club, i Roman Banquet, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3: Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 3, 4; Patrol, 3. I nderneath that innocent expression of John’s, you’ll find plenty of trouble. Ask him how he managed to start a feud between the senior French class and a certain young lady without saying anything (much). 18 T II E S A M P L E R SAUL MILLER College Preparatory “Saulie “Xone but liimse’f could be his equal Tennis, 1, 3, 4; J. V. Basketball, 1, Basketball, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2. 3, 4; All State Chorus, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Viennesse Serenade, 3: School Column, 3, 4; “Circumstantial Evidence, 4: “Heart Trouble, 4. Our class artist who thinks that Walt Disney hasn’t got a thing he hasn’t, except Mickey Mouse, and lie's working on that. As an oil (?) man “Saulie is giving a certain grocery man i bit of competition. ERWIN MOORE General Moore He is as quiet as a lamb? Glee Club, 1. If you’re looking for Erwin be shouldn’t be hard to find,—not with that red hair. In case you can’t spot his hair, how could you miss those bright blue pants? MARGARET MOORE General “ Marg “ To know her is to like her Interclass Basketball, 1, 2, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 3, 4; “Heart Trouble, 4. “Marg’s got red hair but she doesn’t seem to have the temper that goes with it, or does she? When she bought her class ring, they said she had to write to Syracuse to find out the size. JAMES MORI ARTY General Jim Let's make hay while the sun shines Baseball, 1, 3; Basketball, 1, 'i, 3, 4; Football, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 3; Junior Prom, 3. For some unknown (?) reason Jim has taken up hiking this year. His favorite walk seems to be “down Putney way. DOROTHY MORRIS General “Pot Speech is golden. Hoy! am I rich Glee Club, 1. Trouble, Trouble, Trouble, that’s all you seem to have. Dot. It couldn’t be the way you talk could it? Come on now, ’fess up. THE S A MPEER 19 VINCENT MOYNIHAN General “Cesspool “Life is a bubble Junior Varsity Baseball, 3. What’s the matter, “Cesspool,” don’t you like school or are all your vacations compulsory? “Cesspool” made himself famous this year by de- manding that the shades in history class be pulled down so he could sleep. DONALD MI’RPHY College Preparatory “Tuffy “ I man who blushes is not quite a brute Glee Club, 1, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; School Patrol, 3; Junior Varsity Basketball, I, 2; Junior Varsity Baseball, 1. Football, 3, 4; Basketball. 3, 4, Captain, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; Vice-President A. A., 4; Vice-President Senior Class; Vice-President Junior (’lass. “Tuffy,” the best looking boy, best sport, and Vice-President of our class, is a “one-w «man man.” Many a senior girl has tried to influence him other- wise but —“no soap.” “Tuffy” also distinguished himself as an athlete. CHARLOTTE MIZZEY General “Chart' “ How those eyes twinkled (ilee Club, 3; Dramatic Club, 2, 3, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3, 4: “Sleeping Dogs, 4; “Heart Trouble,” 4; Girls’ State, 3. “Chari” was pretty busy this year running around on “errands of mercy” for the office but she managed to take a little time off to do a swell job as a traveling saleslady in “Sleeping Dogs.” I hope you don’t spend your future years breaking up “happy homes” as you did in that play. ROBERT O’NEILL General “Bob', “Then he doth talk—Oh Lord; how he doth talk! “Sleeping Dogs,” 4; “Heart Trouble,” 4; Dramatics Club, 4; Football, 1, 2; Baseball, 1, 2; Student Patrol, 1, 2. The man with the “gift of gab,” that’s Bob. Perhaps that’s how he be- came the best actor of the class. This year Bob gave advice to the lovelorn. What do you do. Bob, advise from your own experiences? BEVERLY OSTERBERG General “Oyster “Her voice was erer% soft, gentle and low Glee Club, 1, 2. Beverly spends a lot of her nights up at V. A. Maybe the attraction is taking care of the professor’s kids but CO T H E S A M P L E K FLOYD POLLARD General “Red (lire me girls, girls ami more girls” Interclass Basketball, 1; Baseball, i, 3, 4. Although “Red” is a quiet chap, anyone can tell he’s coming because of that carrott top of his. A certain little brunette seems to have caught his eye now. FRANCIS PORTER (ieneral “Fran “lie's a quiet man, but quite a man” Hockey, 1, i, .‘I, 4; Football, 1, 4, 3, 4; Baseball, 1, Track, 3; Junior Prom, 8; Class Treasurer, 3, 4; Safety Patrol, 3, 4. “ Fran” is one of the best athletes in the class. He’s really quite a sport • In any of his spare moments, he can be found outside room fourteen keeping a rendezvous with all his freshmen crushees. CATHERINE POWERS General “ Katy “Quiet and reserred, but oh my! “Katy” can be very quiet and reserved when her dander isn’t aroused. Although her spurts of anger are easily put into action, they don’t last long. GERALD RICE General “Budgie “ You rant expert lore to bloom if you keep transplanting it Football, £, 3, 4; Hockey, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 3, t; Interclass Basketball, 2; Spotlight Club, 4; “(’at and Canary,” 3; President A. A., 4; Student Patrol, 3. “Budgie” is famous for his athletic ability and his way with women. He loves the gals and then leaves ’em. His last affair seems to have jumped its usual track though. Very few of us will forget “that note” written in short hand. SOPHIE ROCKE General “Sophie” “ nerer hare much to say but I do a lot of thinking” Sophie is a very quiet girl from over the river. She hardly ever says much but it doesn’t take long to make her smile. T HE S A M PEER 21 MYRTLE SHORT Commercial “Myrt “ As neat as a new pin' Glee Club, 4, 3; Junior Prom, 3. Seldom seen (?) and seldom heard. How do you manage to be so quiet? Maybe if we could be along in that Chevy from Charlestown we’d change our mind—hm? JULIA SMITH General “Smitty “Laughter in my object Interclass basketball, 3; Senior Spotlight Club, 4. Julia with her sense of humor is one of the best-natured kids in our class. You’ll always see “Smitty” at all the B. F. games, mightily cheering our fighting teams on to victory. More power to you Julia! MARION SMITH General Marion “I'd love to tire in Montreal Glee Club, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4. Marion is one of Mrs. Steele’s best home economics pupils. We hear she can prepare anything from fudge to an eight-course dinner. Keep it up Marion; some man’s going to appreciate it some day. RAE SMITH College Preparatory “Smitty “Skill to do, conies from doing Glee Club, 4, 3; School Column, 3; “Heart Trouble, 3. •Vnother Saxtons Riverite who has been with our class for four years. “ Kae certainly held down her part as Mrs. Morrison in the senior play. JOHN SPAIN General Jackie “ There are two sides to every question—mine and the right Football, 3, 4; Track, 4. Sociology class just wouldn't be, without “Jackie” in an argument with cither Mr. Pitcher or Ellison I,ee.

THE SAMPLER S3 CLASS WILL We, as representatives of the seventy-seven members of the illustrious class of 1942, of Bellows Falls High School, in tlie village of Bellows Falls, in the town of Rockingham, County of Windham, State of Vermont, being aware of our unsettled future, and in poor physical condition, weakened by serious and strenuous study these four years, but of sound mind (when in use), wish lawfully to dispose of our personal effects, and do, before proper authorities, and in a manner with established custom, declare this to be our last will and testament to be administered on the 16th of June 1942. FIRST: We do devise and bequeath to all succeeding classes the honor of upholding the splendid reputation of the High School which lias been built up over so many years and which, we are confident, will continue through many more. SECOND: We give the juniors the re- sponsibility of executing to the best of their ability the duties of the A. A., an association which has been conducted splendidly in the past. THIRD: We will to all underclassmen the obligation of carrying off the laurels in athletic contests, whether football, basketball, hockey, baseball, track, or tennis. We hope B. F.’s good sportsmanship and sense of fair play will continue through the coming years. FOURTH: We bequest the very capable guidance of Mr. Osborn to all future senior classes. He has helped us greatly this year and has given both his time ansi efforts with- out any self regard. FIFTH: We hand down to the juniors the suave and sophisticated qualities to which all seniors are heirs. SIXTH: We will the custody of Hoorn 11 to our heirs. We hope, although they will find it somewhat battered, they will enjoy it as much as we have. SEVENTH: We give and bequeath these personal qualities and abilities to the follow- ing deserving persons which are theirs as long as they can keep them and use them to a good end. Bobby O’Neill wills his ability to talk and say nothing to “Shotgun- Jacobs. Betty Brooks leaves with “Tussell Mac- Cart ney. Paul Dowling wills his poker chips to Max Bliss. “Mam” Thompson bequeaths her queenly gait to Janice Hartwell. Thatcher Knight wills his ability to handle the girls to Bobby Adams. “Tuffy ” Murphy wills his basketball ability to Hugh Jakway. Kay Abbott leaves Bellows Falls to go to Dartmouth. Carole Dickinson bequeaths a package of gum to Mr. Olbrych. We hope he uses it. Christine Lovell wills her sophistication to Virginia Wylie. Cara MacDonald leaves with all apologies to Mr. Stockwell.

Ann Cray leaves her taxi business for the duration of the war. Alberta Buzzell leaves her buzzing and singing abilities to Shirley Hart. Frank Kimball leaves his bicycle to Jackie Roby to burn up the road between here and North Walpole. M arion Smith leaves the office where it is. Helen Jurkoie joyfully wills fifty pounds to Ernestine Kimball. Vincent Moynihan wills his scholarly at- tributes to Larry Clark. We think the combination of qualities would be interesting. Steven Sysko bequeaths his decorative ability to Johnnie Porter. Steve added quite an artistic touch to the statues in Hoorn 11. Julia Smith returns her wisecracks to North Walpole where she picked them up. Joe Masten wills his 360 lbs. to the next year’s football team. Gerald Hice bequeaths his physique, acquir- ed from Charles Atlas, to Milton Gordon. Ludger Toussaint leaves to take a singing telegram to Tokyo. Jackie Spain wills his shaving kit toGeorge Tucker. The kit is practically new, George, Jackie doesn’t believe in shaving more than once a week.

John McAuliffe bequeaths his boisterous manner to Aiden Jacobs. (Continued on pace 34).

Thatcher Knight A DRUNKARD’S DREAM I dreamed that I dwelt on an isle of cracked ice. In the midst of a lake of champagne. Where bloomed the mint juleps in meadows of green. And showers of ceaseless rain. I reclined on a divan of large-beer foam. With a billow of froth for my bed. While the spray from a mountain of sparkling gin fizz Descended like dew on my head. Then lulled by the music of tinkling glass. From the trumpeters that danced on the deep, I dreamily supped on a high ball or two And gently floated to sleep. I finally awoke on a bed full of rocks. With a pillow as hard as a brick, A wrench in my neck, cobwebs in my head. And a stomach detestably sick. With sand in my eyes and a grit in my throat. Where the taste of last evening still clung, I fell a bath towel stuffed into my mouth. Which afterwards I found was my tongue. I groped for what happened the evening before. But the haze was too great in my brain. Until a great light burst upon me at last I was out with the fellows again! Saul Miller CLASS WILL (Continued from page 88). Patrick Bowen leaves his complete four years collection of excuses, used for absences under any circumstances, to “Kenny Noyes. Emerson Bowen wills his “K. O. ” abilities in boxing to Robert Streeter. Shirley Bush wills her secret of spending cpiiet nights at home to Corrine Slattery. Norma Buskey bequeaths her smile to Betty Williams. Hubert Fitzgerald eaves his great short stop ability to “Baldy Bahlasaro. Emily Gorham bequeaths her secret of being seen and not heard to “Topsy” O'- Connor. M arv Haggins wills her athletic ability to Virginia Morrison. Walter Kolosky wills his friendship with one of his teachers to “Bub Fontaine. LASTLY: We leave an expression of grati- tude to our teachers who have helped us so much. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we the Class of ’42 set our hands and seal this Sixteenth day of June, nineteen hundred and forty-two. Barry Edmund Fontaine Lois L. Wartman Joseph P. Mazdzer. T II E S A M PEER 35 CLASS PROPHECY After ten years of hard work in a Lockheed Airplane factory in California, where they are now making civilian planes instead of bomb- ers, I decided to take a vacation. So, on June 10th, 1952, I hopped a streamliner for Bellows Falls to attend the alumni celebration of the high school. After a five day journey, I arrived here about 7 A. M. on the morning of June 15th. As I stepped off the train. I was immediately greeted by Joe Donzello, the baggage master. 1 hardly recognized him because he seemed so tall, but when I found that he was standing on a trunk, I felt much better about the matter. Since he was in great haste to attend to the many trunks ot former B. F. students, he promised to see me later. I hailed a taxi, a rather disreputable looking vehicle, and as it pulled over to the curb, 1 heard a thunderous voice shout, “Where to. Moose?” This gave me a start for I had never been called by that name since I was graduated. I took a close look at the driver and found it to be Ann Cray. She was still driving the same car that carted so many students from North Walpole to the high school. Ann was looking very chic with her hair tucked under a somewhat tattered taxi cap. As soon as I seated myself, she started to talk in a steady stream (it sounded vaguely familiar). She told me that one of my former classmates, Margaret Moore, was doing splendidly in the office of Zeno’s Bakery. I also learned that Erwin Moore was now village president and that he had finally succeeded in uniting the two cities of Bellows Falls and Saxtons River. By this time we had reached the square. The whole place was decorated in purple and white; banners floated from the tops of high buildings and every store had a holiday appearance. I made the remark to Ann that I had never seen Bellows Falls looking so gala. Ann told me that this year everything was going to be done in a big way. The affair was superduper because the entire management was in the capable hands of none other than Bobby O’Neill. As we neared the upper end of the square I saw a large crowd standing in front of a building which I had known as the Caroline Arms Block. The huge sign over the window read “Michael Tolaro’s Furniture Store.’ Again Ann came to my rescue by explaining the situation. Mickey was faced with the problem of finding someone to give a window demonstration of the resting qualities of his mattress. Failing to contact any professional window model and remembering the old days back in school, he hired Mickey Brennan. This arrangement was fairly successful, until Paul Dowling, seeing how comfortable Bren- nan looked, begged Mickey to put another bed in the window. This arrangement was a howling success for the couple slept through an entire week and Mickey was making a fortune on it. When we reached t he high school, we were greeted by Hubert Fitzgerald, the superinten- dent. The whole faculty was grouped behind him. I recognized Patrick Bowen, who was teaching Modern European History; Francis Usher, the coach; Danny Higgins, the new English teacher; Phyllis Currier, her acid stained dress showed she taught chemistry; Rose Maffeo, who now taught typing by a new method: Marion Thompson, one look at her hands showed she was, of all things, the shop teacher; Mary Huggins, who was doing splendid work in coaching the girls’ basketball team (for the first time the girls won every game), and standing in the rear Vincent Moynihan, who was wearing the janitor’s overalls. One glance at the lower hall con- firmed the fact that he MAS janitor. Superintendent Fitzgerald took me to his office. He told me, in strictest confidence, that he was very worried. Something (he couldn’t imagine what) was wrong with the school; in spite of its wonderful teaching staff, its standard had fallen considerable. After unburdening his troubles, he told me that I was to ride on the class float. Since I had been leading a less active life and now hail taken on a few just a few pounds, this was welcome news. The thought of carrying my weight on my feet did not appeal to me. It was nearly time for the parade before I again met one of my old classmates. At the float Bobby O’Neill greeted me with a broad, beaming, benevolent smile. He was master of ceremonies. lie told me that the float was to represent the spirit of ’42. There seemed to be some difference of opinion as to what the spirit of ’42 was. Evelyn Gale insisted that we were a scholarly class and came in a cap and gown. Danny Keefe said we were a dashing group and came dressed in a striped sweater, cream colored pants, and purple socks; the whole outfit reminded me of the good old days, when—.

The chairman of the committees were as follows: Decorating Committee—Katherine Vayo Refreshment Committee—Mary Bodine Cloak Room Committee—John Obuchowski Business Committee—Shirley Hart Financial Committee—Ernestine Kimball Let’s hope the Juniors carry on in their Senior year as well as they did in their Junior year. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from page 85). Lawlor argued that our class was outstanding for its athletic ability and he came dressed in a hockey outfit; but the strange thing I could not understand was why he carried a club unless it was a habit acquired while playing for the Grafton Bruins, on which team he had won his fame. Freida • Foster and Faith Bartlett, now nurses in «• Baltimore Home for Old Men, contended that the useful arts should be presented. To settle the argument every- one piled on, dressed as he was. During the day’s festivities, I had the good fortune to meet two of my old friends. I found Betty Thompson riding a very broad backed horse, a breed which she had perfected on her dude ranch. Later I met Eloise Wil- son who told me she was making good as a model for a New York artist. The day passed all too quickly and 1 soon found myself bound for heme. On the way I reflected what an illustrious class we turned out to be.

The plays were “Circumstances Alter Cases and “Sleeping Dogs both of which proved to be very successful. In the first play “Circumstances Alter Cases the cast was as follows: Eve Hamilton, Katherine Abbott; Hetty Kverett, Leila Taylor; Maggie, Faith Hartlett; Don Hamilton, Hubert Fitzgerald; Stephen Everett, Edward Jancewitz. The plot centers about the extreme disgust of Don when he learns that his mother is to remarry soon to a man whom he has never seen, Stephen Everett. I’pon his arrival h me from college he finds the very engaging Hetty Everett at his home, though he does not learn who she is untd he has formed a great liking for her. This fact certainly .iti alter the case when he met her father who was a Is the man his mother was to marry. The part of the maid was well portrayed by Faith Hartlett. In the second play “Sleeping Dogs the cast was: Joe Phillips, Paul Dowling; Minnie Phdlips, Ann Cray; Peggy Sloane. Marion Thompson; Ned Sloane, Kobert O'Neill; Miss Price, Charlotte Muzzy. The scene takes place one morning, when Minnie and Peggy are in the midst of house-cleaning. Peggy was exasperated by the fact that Joe was staying home to help Minnie while Ned, feeling that he had done his share by piling the furniture in the middle of the room, was going on a fishing trip with the gang. While Ned was upstairs looking for his fishing pants. Miss Price entered. She was getting information from housewives for an article in a magazine entitled “Are You Happy with Your Husband? . Miss Price was beginning to make Peggy believe she was discontented with Ned when Ned came tripping hilariously out on the stage with only a meager spread tied around his waist. Miss Price, very embarassed, left immediately only to go over to M innie’s. When Joe thrust a fish bowl over M iss Price’s head that was the end of her and the scene ended happily for all. On April 10 the Senior Class of 42 presented a three- act play “Heart Trouble under the direction of Mr. Osborn. The cast included: Mrs. Morrison. Hae Smith; Junior Morrison, Saul Miller; Patricia Morrison, Carole Dickinson; Laura Morrison, Ann Cray; Conrad Tyler, Edward Jancewiez; Fred Morrison, Bradford Leach; Lenore Appleby, Marion Thompson; Tommy Caler, Hubert O’Neill; Jethro Appleby, Thatcher Knight; Beatrice Tyler, Margaret Moore. d'lie story deals with the troubles, and they are many, of the Morrison family. Mrs. Morrison, always wrapped up in her social ambitions, finds it hard to understand her children and her husband, Fred, who seems very old-fashioned to her. Junior Morrison takes a definite liking to Lenore Appleby who is a nice, unspoiled girl in spite of being a member of a very wealthy family. Mr. Appleby, Lenore’s father, is determined that Fred Morrison should donate some land for a golf course and Mr. Morrison is equally determined that he shouldn’t. In the end Mr. Appleby buys the land. Junior and Lenore manage to keep from quarreling but not so with Tommy Caler who plainly tells his best girl Laura that she is making a mistake. That “mis- take refers to Conrad Tyler, a smooth-tongued young man who is just leading Laura on under the pretense of giving her golf lessons, that is, until his wife Beatrice comes to town and humiliates Mrs. Morrison apn Laura. Laura finally realizes that she has been mis- taken about Tommy, whom she has been ignoring since the arrival of Mr. Tyler. Tommy in the meantime, has been rushing Laura’s sister Patricia, who is young and attractive. Laura again appears before Tommy and he is completely recaptivated by her charm. Patricia understandingly disappears, reassured in the belief that she has taught her sister a lesson. SPOTLIGHT DRAMATICS Play Night, the Spotlight Club’s big event was an especially big event this year. At exactly 8:15, the appointed hour for Play Night to begin, the curtain opened upon a room in Pimlico, S. YV., the sitting room of an author. This was the setting for the Junior one-act play, “Five Characters In Search of a Change”, a fantistic comedy. This was the first of a series of three plays to be presented for a ten dollar prize, ottered by the Dramatics Club. Melvin Thomas did a good piece of work in the difficult portrayal of the author and was well supported by his characters. Carroll Morris gave a very realis- tic picture of a minister. Estelle O’Connor, was a convincing old lady. Rose Sullivan, Katharine Yayo, Gordon Raymond and the landlady, Marilyn Herrick, also played their parts effectively. Despite the fact that this was a difficult play to put across to an aud- ience, it was well received and captured second place in the competition. The applause died away, and after a short interval, the curtain again opened. This time upon a living room in a typical American home, the setting for the Sophomore play, “Sugar and Spice”, a not unusual comedy presented in an unusual and fast- moving fashion. This play captured for the Sophomore division the ten dollar prize and also the honor of having the outstanding performance in Barbara Hanson’s portrayal of the girl trying to imitate her sophisticated friend. For this Barbara received the two dollar prize donated by the Rockingham Players. Jeanne Rice, who played the mother, received honorable mention and much praise. John Barry seemed natural and completely convincing as the boy next door. Y’irginia Whitcomb, as the sophisticated girl friend, and John Barber, as the father, gave good support to the other players. An outburst of applause rewarded this presentation and the audience had barely recovered from their mirth when the curtain 44 T II E S A MPLE R opened for the final performance of the even- ing. This was the Senior play, “Circumstan- tial Evidence”, a tragedy. The parts were well taken by Christine Lovell, Lois Wart man, Edward Jancewicz, Thatcher Knight, Brad- ford Leach, Saul Miller and Donald Murphy. Although this play was a little on the serious side after the Sophomore’s rollicking comedy, it was well received by the audience and took a close third place. The curtain closed, applause broke out, the lights went on and Play Night was over for another year. These plays took time, effort and cooperation from both the players and Mr. Kellogg. They all gave unsparingly. The Sophomore play, winner of Play Night, was scheduled to go to Springfield to compete in the District One-act Play Competition. “Sugar and Spice”, their winning play, however, was already being entered by another school; the Sophomores had to find another. They presented “Georgie Porgie, ” a comedy somewhat similar in type and characters. The cast was the same as “Sugar and Spice” Barbara Hanson, Jeanne Bice, John Barry, Virginia Whitcomb, and John Barber plus Rosemary Cray and Dorothy Brown, both sophomores, and Robert O’Neill, a senior. This play, much handicapped by lack of time for practice, came through in the District Competition to win second place, being barely nosed out by Springfield. The cast certainly deserved all the praise they received. However, although Play Night and the Competitive Plays are the big events of the Spotlight Club’s year, they are not ac- complished without thought, time and effort. The Seniors meet once a week presided over by Hubert Fitzgerald, President; Saul Miller, Treasurer; and Shirley Bush, Secretary. The Juniors and Sophomores also meet every week. At these meetings subjects pertaining to dramatics are discussed. MORE POETS Those eyes of Bobbie’s, how they stare. At Leila with her light brown hair. But what I’d surely like to know Is what those eyes of Bobbie’s show. Perhaps its just infatuation. Or is it not anticipation. We’ll simply have to wait and see. If this affair will ever be. Carole Dickinson There he goes the little man Striding quickly as he can He bustles down the crowded hall In search of a certain furtive call. He glowers here, he peers out there, Who says he never has a care! In search of missing boys he goes, Yes, Mr. Osborn’s on his toes. Richard Hooper Our president is a mighty man A mighty man is he He shows his strength on the football field He makes us shout with glee He winks at the girls, he shouts at the boys The former ones he treats like toys. He won’t be arrested for his looks He isn’t brilliant at his books He’s as conceited as they come He shoves us around one by one But you dislike him you just try You can’t do it—don’t lie! Natalie Barnes We the class of forty-two. Wish to say to all of you, Even though we’re getting thru. We don’t feel so very blue. We’d like to stay, but we must go. Some will be back, as you may know, But if they do, I’m telling you. They will wish that they were thru. Joseph Donzello I Hail to the class of ’12 At last our high school days are through. We’ve sailed (smoothly?) through the last long year. And are ready to embark on our lifelong career. II Just a word or two of our scholars’ achievements. Our studies, activities and minor bereavements. Some of our actions were sensible, some quaint. But most of our contacts merit faculty complaint. III To the faculty whose advice was so often expressed, We’ll admit that we’ve left you somewhat depressed. Yet we’ll always remember how sincerely you tried, To uphold the principles so often defied! IV But rumor has it that the Juniors this year Are honest, upright and truly sincere So we leave with the hope that the class of tomorrow Will not be like us who have caused so much sorrow. Julia Smith. ’12 HEART TROUBLE j? Musics 48 T H E S A M P L E R GLEE CLUB Our Glee Club’s accomplishments, which are due mainly to the untiring efforts of Miss Emily Stewart, director, have been appreciat- ed by all who have heard the group perform. The Senior Octet, naturally, occupies first place in the Glee Club. Its members are Katharine Abbott, Alberta Buzzell, Ann Cray, Carole Dickinson, Leila Taylor, Marion Thompson, and Lois Wart man. This group surprised all by singing THE FIRST NOEL in four parts the first time this has been done in our (ilee Club by all girls’ voices. Very gradually the capable Junior Octet is stepping into the Seniors’ place. The follow- ing girls compose this group: Bernice Buzzell Jeanne Davis, Jean Fabian, Janice Hartwell, Marilyn Herrick, Henrietta Jurkiewicz, Pat- ricia Sanborn, Marjorie Stevens, and Rachel Willard. A third octet is made up of the following Sophomore girls: Dorothy Brown, Charlotte Chandler, Evelyn Dowlin, Beverly Fen no, Katherine O’Connor, Minnie Peck, Jeanne Rice, and Flora Shattuck. A plea went out at the beginning of the year for some boys to join the Glee Club. Enough presented themselves to organize an octet of freshmen and sophomores, and a double quintet. Participating in these are: Gerald (’ray, Clarence Downing, Winslow Fenn, Thatcher Knight, Bradford Ix?ach, Ellison Lee, Saul Miller, Donald Murphy, Charles Parker, John Richards, Robert Streeter, Dan I’avlor, Kenneth Thayer, and Leonard Ware- ing. On Thursday, December 18, the annual Christmas Concert was presented. In addi- tion to the various octets, a girls’ chorus took part. All who heard this concert enjoyed the variety of the program which demonstrated the ability of the groups. The Glee Club appreciates the proficiency of its accompanists, Clarence Downing, Ann Illingworth, and Patty Sanborn, and thanks them for their hard work. BAND AND ORCHESTRA The band and orchestra have both made fine showings this year under the direction of Mr. White. Several new members have been acquired. The band should be given much credit for the grand job it did in playing at all the home football and basketball games. Some of the members of the orchestra have new instruments. Lately they have been attempting popular music. The orchestra played at the Teachers’ Convention in May and went to Burlington for the May Festival. Nine members of the band went to the Music Festival as candidates for the All-State Band: Ann Illingworth, Eleanor McKee, Jane Merrifield, Betty Merrill, Roy Miner, Donald Moreau, Charlotte Noyes, Patricia Page, and Betty Williams. Those who participated in the All-State Orchestra were: Walter Kolaski, Shirley Rowell, Ruth Thompson and Velma Thomp- son . Much praise is due to the majorettes, June Abbott, Dorothy Brown, Evelyn Dowlin, Ruth Goodnow, Patricia Herrick, Helen Wasklewicz who did a great job twirling in parades and at the games. ASSEMBLIES As a result of the initiative and efforts of the assembly committee, we have had some very interesting and varied programs this year, from the opening assembly on Septem- ber tenth, through several plays, to a concert given by the R. (). T. C. Band from the University of Vermont. As has always been the custom, we have had at least one assembly a week and oc- casionally two. The committee has tried to present programs that would entertain the whole school and be especially interesting to one particular course or club. In this they have succeeded. One of the most interesting programs, especially to commercial students, took place on October seventeenth when Stella Willins, the national expert typist, gave a thrilling performance of her skill and powers of con- centration. She also gave a few pointers to the would-be-typists in the audience. Miss Willins sense of humor was a great help in impressing on the minds of the typing classes what NOT to do while typing. Perhaps the most grim and startling assemblies which have taken place in this high school during the last fifteen or twenty years were the defense programs, which began long before Pearl Harbor. Several of the men on the local defense board spoke to the student body in an effort to impress on them the need for complete home defense. Three films showing how to fight bombs and fires were presented. (Continued on page 56). 51 T HE S A M P L E R CHEERLEADING In spite of the fact that one girl had a broken wrist during basketball season, the cheerleaders have managed to be at every home game, football and basketball, and quite a few of the out of town games. They did a good job of raising the yells and all received B. F. letters. A few new cheers have been devised and the cheerleaders expect to have an entire new set for next year. They also plan to have new uniforms. The cheerleaders were: Leila Taylor, Helen (’owing, BernadeSte Landers, Virginia Wylie, Veronica McAuliffe, and Kay Vayo, Captain. The new ones chosen to supplement the seniors who are graduating are: Jeanne Rice, Mary Crotty, and Mary Regan. FOOTBALL 1941 With practically an entire first string of new comers. Coach l.yman Abbott showed a team that could really play football and he continued doing so throughout the season. Still carrying out his T formation. Coach Abbott used an unbalanced line to the right and a single wing, or double wing formation. In their opening encounter H. F. easily overcame a completely baffled Bennington team. Confident of victory and expecting an easy game, the Purple and White gridsters met with defeat in the Brattleboro contest, losing closely by a score of 0-2. To compen- sate for this, the Purple Terrors wiped out successfully the huge and baffling “X” which marked the outcome of the Springfield game. Ii. F. had not scored on the Dressellmen for over nine years! Rice and Bowen accredited themselves by plugging the ball continuously in the center of line, but Fran Porter was the real hero for his plunge over the important line, bringing the sore to 0-9. The let termen were: John Barry. Emerson Bowen, Michael Brennan, Dan Brosnahan, Timothy Criinmins, Gordon Fontaine, Jerome Fitzgerald, James Holton, (Jordon Jacobs, Ralph Kemp. Joseph Landers, captain. Bra Iford Leach, Russell MacCartney, Joseph Masten, James Moriartv, Donald Murphy, Stanley Pivowar, Francis Porter, John Porter, Gordon Raymond, Gerald Rife, John Spain, Charles Vosburgh, Kenneth Ward, Thatcher Knight, manager. Three of Mr. Abbotts players made the all-state foot- ball team. They were John Barry, tackle; Joseph Landers, end; and Gerald Rice, half back.

The results of this tournament were not so conclusive as to eliminate Bellows Falls chance of playing in the State Tourna- ment, so a play-off between Bellows Falls and Bellows Free Academy was held. B. F. lost this game. Starting off the season with returning varsity material Coach Lyman Abbott stressed team play as an import- ant factor to a successful team. This was evident in every game the boys played. High scorer was “Tuffy” Murphy who turned in 84 of the 481 points for Bellows Falls. Masten and Landers were next with 5(5 points and 54 points res- pectively. The let termen were: Captain Donald Murphy, captain-elect Robert Huntoon, John Barry, Dan Bros- nalian, (Jordon Fontaine, James Holton, Joe Landers, Saul Miller, James Moriartv, Gordon Raymond, and Thatcher Knight, manager.

With Sliss Hippolitus as coach, Mary Haggins as captain, Lois Wartman as manager and a team of veterans, they prepared to really go to town this year. In their first game, Keene won by a large margin. . The girls made a quick comeback to end their ten game season with a record of live wins, four losses and one tie, a very profitable season in all. The girls earning letters were: M. Bodine, A. Buzzell, M. Haggins, J. Hartwell, B. Martin, H. Michniewicz, M. Raymond. K. Regan, J. Roby, J. Spicer, J. Stack, L. Willard and R. Flynn.

They have just completed their third consecutive champion- ship season. This is a feat of which any team should be proud. Cndefeated by any Vermont team, they went out of the state looking for competition. Here they were not as successful, losing two games to Hanover. Their only other loss of the season was to Vermont Academy, which is not in high school competition. The team was made up for the most part of veterans. The whole defense line and Lawlor, proclaimed the best 52 T H E S A M P L E K goalie in the state, were veterans; most of these will be lost at graduation. Because of this. Coach Holder does not expect to have a championship team again next year but that it will be a build-up year. He is con- fident that a championship team will soon follow. The let termen are: Bowen, Crimmins, Higgins, Kemp, Lawlor, F. Porter. J. Porter, Rice, Vosburgh.

Alas, he waited in vain. Decem- ber passed and most of January—no snow. Finally when he was almost in despair, hope arrived in the shape of a Hurry of snow. That it was only a flurry meant nothing to them—it was snow. After this long period of delay one might have thought that now snow was here to stay, but it wasn t. All season’s meets had to be called off because of lack of snow, to say nothing of the practices that were not held. Despite all these obstacles the following meets were held: Keene Rutland Vermont Academy Springfield where the district meet was held. Here K. Noyes placed second in jumping, which entitled him to go to Stowe. As to his achievements at Stowe noth- ing was announced. At all other meets Bellows Falls was not very success- ful, never coming in first. I ettermen were: Max Bliss, B. Gray, H. Hall, B. Leach, G. Lucier, K. Noyes, K. Thayer, and Manager G. Clark. BASEBALL 1941 The baseball team’s record in 1941 was almost a draw, as near a draw as a schedule of eleven games could be, with a record of five wins and six lossess. A nearly veteran team, they played a fast game of base- ball, making every team they came in contact with put up a hard battle. “Da” Bushway’s work on the mound is worth all the praise that anyone who ever saw him pitch is sure to give him. The letter men were as follows: J. Barry, E. Busn- way, T. ( apron, B. Cray, H. Fitzgerald, Manager; .1. Landers, J. McMennamin, W. Miner, D. Murphy, F. Pollard, R. Tolaro, and C. Zeno.

The first three games played were victories. The boys gave all their fans a thrill in their second game of the season when they overcame Clare- mont by a one point margin. A close game all the way, at the end of the ninth inning the score stood a tie 2-2. In the first half of the tenth, the Claremont team drew a home run which made it look like their game. Not to be daunted, however, Bellows Falls pulled in two runs to win the game 4-3. The team still has three games left before they close their season. Summary thus far: Bellows F'alls 3 Ludlow 2 99 4 Claremont 3 99 (� Ludlow 3 M 0 Brattleboro 3 99 2 Brattleboro 3 99 6 Ludlow 1 The players were: G. Rice (11). F. Pollard (9), F. Porter (10), R.

Largess (6). _____________ TRACK 1941 The track season was, generally, very good with the boys putting up a fight in all their meets. A few of them gained records for themselves, and special men- tion should be made to their success in field events. Masten, Fontaine, and Lovell gave excellent accounts of themselves and Huntoonwas reputed to be one of th best half-milers in the state. Also in good showing were Kent, T. Fitzgerald, Crotty, McMahon, Bowen and MacCartney. In their first meet of the season. Bellows Falls, com- puting with Rutland and Springfield, placed second. Their next encounter with Vermont Academy was pretty disastrous, although Iluntoon captured top spot in the half-mile, Masten was first in the shot, the honors of the javelin were taken by Fontaine and Kemp, and Porter tied for first in the high jump. The score of this meet was 72-30. Second place was again occupied by 11. F. in the next triangular meet with Brattleboro and the I . V. M. Freshmen. In the next, they slipped to third, being topped by Brattleboro and Keene. However, the boys proved their ability when they participated in the Southern Vermont meet at Rutland and placed second. Then they journeyed to Burlington and took fifth place in the State Track Tourney. TRACK 1942 I'lider the efficient coaching of Mr. Barrett, B. F H. S. has developed a record-breaking track team this year. A few of the outstanding men are Masten, who un- officially broke all high school records by throwing the shotput forty nine feet, Iluntoon, our star runner, who ran the half-mile in two minutes, eight seconds, Lovell, doing ten feet, three inches in the pole vault, and Noyes who took many first places in discuss throwing and high jumping. Other staunch supporters of the team are F'itzgerald, Fontaine, Gray, Hinds, Hobart, Kane, Kemp, Morey, Morris, Murphy, F. Porter, J. Porter and Vosburg. The track schedule and scores arc as follows: Bellows Falls entered five men in seven events at the district meet at Rutland. Bellows Falls 43 4 Rutland 48 Bellows Falls placed fourth with 25 points in the state meet at Burlington Bellows Falls 1 lA Keene 55 $ Bellows Falls 37 Vermont Academy 72 T H ESA M PLE R 53 TENNIS 1941 A thoroughly successful season in any sport is always well appreciated by Bellows Falls fans. So was it with Mr. Olbrych’s tennis team, which lost only one match, to Vermont Academy. However, the boys returned with the winning score of 5-1 in their second match with them. To add to their favorable record, the Purple and White team was runner-up in the state interscholastic meet. Saul Miller, captain, is the only star remaining with Mr. Olbrvch for another season of smashing the ball around the court. Graduation has eliminated Warren Smith, Bob Crotty, Timmy O’Connor and Chase. Results of the matches are as follows: Foster Bellows Falls 1 Vermont Academy 6 5 Proctor 1 ♦� 7 Rutland 0 � 6 Charlestown 0 � � 7 Proctor 0 � � 5 Vermont Academy 1 6 Claremont 0 •� 5 Brattleboro 1 � « Charlestown 0 � 6 West Rutland 0 TENNIS 1944 The tennis team of '44, coached by Mr. Olbrvch is getting ready to begin a comparatively light schedule. This is partially due to the difficulties in getting trans- portation. Although it has not been definitely decided, un- doubtedly Miller will play first place again this year. Other members of the team are A. Hebb, .1. Masten, K. Noyes, and J. Porter. Their schedule will be as follows: Friday, May 49; Bellows Falls plays Keene here Wednesday, June 8; Bellows Falls plays Keene there Thursday, June 4; Bellows Falls slays Brattleboro there Friday, June5; Bellows Falls plays Montpelier here Friday, June 14; Bellows Falls plays Montpelier there.

The coach of this team was Mr. Barrett. Members of the team were as follows: Gerald Cray, John Ovan, William Davis, Jerome Fitzgerald, Stan- ley Gray, Hollis Harlow, Albert Hinds, James Lawlor.

This luck, however, was not due to the inability of the players or to the lack of cooperation. The boys closed the season with a win over Brattleboro. The Jayvees were coached by Mr. Cantwell. The members of the team were as follows: Brown, Cray, Dexter, Fitzgerald, Gillis, Gray,Hanson,Largess, Lovell, Smith, Stowell, Taylor.

ASSEMBLIES (Continued from page 18). On the musical side we find fine programs. In the instrumental class we had part of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, directed by Mr. Alan ('arter, who gave a very fine pro- gram which delighted all music lovers. Mr. Carter spoke to the students and told them about the orchestra. Also in this group we have the R. (). T. C. Band from the University of Vermont arous- ing the school with three lusty marches and gay little pieces. Their swing version of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” was cheered by the “jitterbugs” in the audience. In the vocal class we find the Glee Club giving a grand Christmas Concert, in which, of course, the various music groups were featured. Miss Stewart directed the music, which consisted of carols and holy songs. Reverend John G. Currier gave his annual Christmas message. Among all the programs which delighted the whole school were the four plays presented this year. The first was “The Taming of the Shrew” presented by the Putney School Players. They gave a magnificent perform- ance and it is doubtful if a Shakespearian Play was ever so well done by a group of boys and girls. The next play was an interesting one-act drama by the title of “Two Crooks and a Lady, ” given as an exchanged program by Walpole High School. The Freshman and Junior classes presented two one-act comedies, “Who Says Can’t?” and “Three’s a Crowd.” These were direct- ed by Miss Brown and were very well done. The Quiz Program which was arranged by Mr. (’antwell and announced by Bob O’Neill was one of the most amusing assemblies. Everything was like that of a real broadcast, with Bob O’Neill as the R. V. Fat Minute Mullets announcer and the theme “In the air on the land on the sea.” Students were asked questions and scored by “Judges. ” Barbara Hanson won first prize and Paul Dowling second. And finally the awarding of letters to the basketball, hockey and ski team.
