WHO’S T II E S A M P L E R ) WHO ROBERT ALEXANDER General “Alex' lie nerer worked but moments odd and many a bluff wrought he. Count on Bob’s being there if anything exciting is going on. He’s also a good hand at starting the excitement. The training he got walking all the girls home from Whelan’s should help him in the Navy on those 35 mile jaunts. ROBERT ADAMS General Bobby “ Women? I hare nerer heard of women before. What are women lilce? We don’t hear much from Bob in the class room—in fact we don’t hear much of anything about him. We understand though, that he just loves riding in trains and getting around the R. R. Baggage room. What do you find so interesting. Bob? BERNICE APOSTOLOS General “Bunny “A merry dancing, laughing time. Basketball 2. .3; Band I, 2: Orchestra 1, 4; Glee Club 2, .3; 4; Junior Prom 4; Senior Hop 1. Bunny’s quite a jitterbug did you know she won two contests? We seldom see her at the B. F. dances, though. What’s all this we hear about your sleeping ail the time you were in Boston, Bunny? Was that the way to spend a week-end? You couldn’t have been bored must have been the late hours! JOHN AUMAND General “Jackie “ Sight after night, he sat and bleared his eyes with books. ” Senior Hop 3; Senior Bazaar 4. Jackie sure knows his current events! Ask Mr. Pitcher!! How he re- members all those «lates is beyond us. As if they didn't see each other enough he and his twin carry their arguing right into their English (’lass. Where do you find all those arguments. Jack? They don’t all come out of a newspaper. WILLIAM AUMAND General Billy A fisherman s walk: three steps and orerboard. What a man for an argument! Miss Brown certainly has her hands full with the 5th period English class. Way up back you can hear Bill arguing with twin Jackie on some important subject. Miss Brown should keep a few pairs of boxing gloves in her desk, in case the Aumand twins decide they really want to settle an argument.

10 THE S A MPLER JOHN BALDASARO General “Sam ‘‘.Vo too tall, p'rhaps not uise, But ii hat a terror for h in size.” Baseha 11 1, 2, 8, 4 ; Reporter 8. You’ve heard of the devil's flashing eyes” well, that’s Sam -only it’s ‘‘the devil’s flashing smile,” instead. A regular holy terror on the diamond, Sam s been a star on the baseball team for two years, and is now co-captain. BKR I IIA BAI.I.OI College Preparatory “ Bertha” “ Cpright as an exclamation point. Glee Club I. 2; Times 8. l ook across Room 11 any time and you can see Bertha buried in her books. That girl knows all the answers. Just another proof that something besices hicks come from farms. BEATRICE BARNES General “Bea “She'd fight a rattlesnake and give it the first tuo bites. Glee Club 1, 2, 8, 4; Dramatic Club 8; Prom 8; Hop 8. Bea can take anything in her stride—from driving oxen to hiking the hills of Grafton (accompanied, of course). The late hours don’t bother her any. on can find her up in typing at all hours of the morning. How do vou do it, Bea ? JOHN BARRY General “Bono “Cards were at first for benefits designed Sent to amuse, not to cnstare the mind. Basketball I, 2. 8, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 8, 4; Football 1. 2, 8; Captain 4. Bono is one of the best-natured kids in the class, and oh! what a man on the gridiron. He can stop anything that comes his way. But even iron-men have a weakness and Bono’s is coffee. He likes to make it best at 8 o’clock in the morning. Many a senior girl has had her eye on him but “No Soap.” The nearest he ever gets to a girl is on the dance floor. IDA BENTON General “Ida II hen she spoke, her words seemed to drift half wag across the room and hen drop from exhaustion. Times 4. Quiet (?) and friendly is Ida. A true Republican, she even goes out with a Wilkie. We hear her porch is the official meeting place of Y. A. we mean Saxton’s River. That must be where she picks up all those words for the 1st period Shorthand Class.
