T II E 8 A M P L E R 16 SHIRLEY HART College Preparatory “Shirley” “ The blush is beautiful, but sometimes inconvenient. Interclass Basketball 1, 2. 4; Glee Club 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Bazaar Plays 4: School Column 3, 4: “Antic Spring” 4; Girls’ State, I). A. R. Girl Congratulations to you Shirley on two accounts. Salutatorian ami- well, we’ll let you guess the other,- but if you sec Shirley with even more smiles than usual it isn't all because she’s salutatorian of the class. We hear Shirley has deprived the class of a work of art. What about that poem you wouldn’t let go to press, Shirley, and what was it all about? MARILYN HERRICK General “ Mari'yn “ She has ttro eyes, so soft and brown Take care I She gives a side-glance and looks down, Beware! BewareV Interclass Basketball 4, Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Drum Majorette 2: Octet 2, 3, 4; Dramatics Club 2, 3; School Column 3. 4 ; Viennese Seranade 2; Five Characters in Search of a Change, The Grand Cham’s Diamond, Sampler Board 4. Marilyn certainly can write and her work in English class always seenir to brighten Miss Brown’s face. Maybe all her letters to service men have something to do with making her so good. V-mail had Marilyn worried for a while for she doesn’t want the whole world to see what she has to write to Franny but she soon lost her bashfulness and even V-mail doesn't bother her now. We wish we were the ones who photographed those letters. ALBERT HINDS General “ Many can argue, and many conrcr.se. ’’ J. V. Football, Track, Boys’ State 3. One of the class who is doing his best to get this war over as soon as possible The town certainly misses AI’s flying bicycle going through the street at 0:00 sharp. You certainly needed a bicycle. From Gageville to the upper end of North Walpole is quite a distance. JAMES HOLTON General “Corn’’ “ II is bashf ul m i nd hi riders. ” Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4: Baseball 2, 3, 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Bazaar 4; School Column 3. “Cornhusker” comes from the farm as you might guess- by the name, of course. People might think he’s “stuck up” because, when he’s dancing, he doesn’t always speak. The reason, however, is not that he’s “stuck up” but that when he speaks he loses track of his steps. Jim can always be counted on to do his best in football, baseball, and basketball and is always in there fight- ing. ROBERT HUNTOON General “Bob” “ you know not me, you know no one.” Varsity Basketball 1. 2, 3. 4; Captain of Basketball 4: Track 1, 2, 3; Prom Committee 3; Bazaar Committee 3; Treasurer Junior Class. Bob did a swell job as captain of the basketball team this year and de- serves a lot of credit. Why is it, Bob, that you’re always the last one home from a dance? Is it just because the Bushway’s ice box is always full or is there another attraction?

THE S A M P L E R 1.5 MARY GALLAGHER College Preparatory Mary “ Where did you ye! those ryes so blue? From the shy as came through. School Column 3: Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Senior Bazaar 4; Class Secretary 3, 4. Mary is not seen around as much as she used to he and always seems to carry a pen with her. Too bad, Mary, you can’t get your grade in Sociology on the letters you write there—you’d get an A without a doubt. I’ncle Sam should let sailor's girls send their letters free too. Look at the money it would save for you, Mary. RICHARD GOODRICH College Preparatory Dick “ He was meant for a gentleman, but was spoilt in the making. (ilee Club 4, Christmas Concert 4; “The Grand Cham’s Diamond” 4. A newcomer this year, Dick comes to us from V. A. In the short time he has been here, Dick has become well-known, even famous in his own way. In Sociology class Dick can always he counted on to give an example to fit any case. Seems Dick gets around—huh, Dick? MILTON GORDON General “Mitty' “How glorious it is to be an exception. Hockey 3, J. . Baseball 3; (ilee Club 1, 2; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Prom 3, School Column 3; Senior Bazaar 4. What’s this we hear about Mitty walking window-ledges outside of Study Hall. Perhaps he’s training to become the human fly. Could it be you, Mitty that the Seniors and Mr. Osborn have to thank for the illustrations on the bulletin board? Pretty good taste you have. ROSEMARY GRAY Commercial Rosie A wring eye, a wring heart. Glee Club 1, 2; Dramatics 2: Senior Bazaar 4; Stage Manager and Promp- ter of the “Grand (’ham’s Diamond” 4. Rosie seems to be one of the class’s busiest girls. Besides doing her school work she works in Whelan’s and that really is a job! Even all this doesn’t seem to interfere with her social life. However the Marines seem now to have taken Springfield’s place in her thoughts. ELLEN ANN HANKARI) College Preparatory Hank' “ Make much of one, good men arc scarce. Senior Octet 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Ring Committee 3; School Column 3, 4; Sampler Board 4. Ellen Ann is one of North Walpole’s gifts to Bellows Falls. She placed third in the class and certainly deserves congratulations. We hear Ellen Ann hopes to go into training at Hanover and we certainly wish her good luck al- though the High School won’t seem the same to a certain Junior boy.

THE S A MPLE R 17 I ELEN HURLBURT General “Helen” “Anything for a quiet life.” Interdans Basketball 1, 2, 4. Helen is one of the quiet girls in the class but once she has her mind made up it’s difficult to change it in fact, difficult is a mild word for it. No offense meant, Helen, it takes courage to stick by your guns. GENEVA JACOBS General “Jake” “Her pulse beats matrimony.” Manager of Girls Varsity 4; Assistant Manager 8; Grand Cham’s Diamond 4. That ring you see on Geneva’s finger is no fake—it’s the real thing. Those Gageville girls certainly get around—especially if you have a fiance who leaves you his car. We suppose wedding bells will be ringing for you soon, Geneva, and we certainly wish you the best of luck. GORDON JACOBS General “Shotgun” “IIis eyes in flood with laughter. Football 1, 2, 8, 4; Baseball 1, 2; Hockey 8; Basketball 1, 2, 8: Band 1, 2; Orchestra 1. 2; Glee Club, Antic Spring 4: Three’s a Crowd, President of Jun- ior and Senior Class. After serving as class president for his Junior and Senior year, Shotgun feels he has done his share for the class and is now going to help Uncle Sam out. If Shotgun does half as well in the Navy as he did in football, this war can’t last much longer. HUGH JAKWAY Commercial “Hughie’’ “ am as God made me. Glee Club 1, 2; Opera House Committee 8; Sampler Board 4; General Manager of Antic Spring, The Grand (’ham’s Diamond, Junior Prom 3; Sen- ior Bazaar 4. Hughie can always be counted on to be amongst a group of girls, listening to their dirt and adding quite a bit he has dug up by himself. The only boy in three out of his five classes. What do you go to school to learn, Hugh, shorthand and typing? HENRIETTA JURKIEWICZ College Preparatory “Rett” “She's got a lot of freight on her train of thought. (ilec Club 2, 8, 4; Octet 2, 8, 4; Dramatics Club 8; Junior Prom 8; Senior Bazaar 4; School Column 8. 4; Five Characters in Search of a Change, Viennese Serenade, Antic Spring—Prompter; Sampler Board 8, 4; Roman Banquet 2, 8. Part of Henrietta’s time is spent writing letters and part of it cooking, for she knows “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach ’’ but for the dura- tion she has to keep her men happy through letters. Henrietta knows how to throw a swell party too, including cats what kind of cider iras that, by the way?
