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?

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?

18 T II ESA M P L E R MYRA KEMP General Myra “ It's nirc to hr natural uhcn you're naturally wire. Interelass Baskethal! •i Junior Prom 3; School Column 3. You rarely see Myra in a had mood hut when she dees Hare up—beware! Myra’s always in question about men. She does her best to remain faithful to all of them. ERNESTINE KIMBALL College Preparatory Tina “ Tl ey more easiest uho hare learned to da nee.” Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; School Column 3, 4. A last waltz was in one sense Ernestine’s downfall hut later proved to he her triumph. We wonder if Mr. Pitiher hau any insioe dope when he changed Ernestine’s seat in Sociology class. ANNA KINIRY Commercial “Ann” I did nothiny in particular and did it well. Varsity Basketball 4; Sampler Board 4; School Column 3, 4; Dramatics Club 3. Where would the North Walpole church choir he without Anna’s able assistance? You can usually finu Anna up in typing room helping out some cause. B E R NADETTE LAN I) E RS (ieneral “ Dernie I came—tho' not on time. Interelass Basketball 1; Cheer Leader £, 3, 4; (ilee Club 1; Dramatic Club 'i, 3; Prompter. Five Characters in Search of a Change; Prompter, 'I hree’s a Crowd. Bernadette is rather a quiet girl in school but outside-----. Ask Berna- dette what she does every Thursday night. Wonder why she prefers the First National. Must be because of the able assistance the North Walpole clerk gives. JAMES LAWLOR College Preparatory “Haky lie careful, young fe!la You're ready for lore. J. V. Football 2, 3; J. V. Baseball 3; Baseball 4; Manager Basketball 4: Roman Banquet 3: Junior Prom; Senior Hop 3; Senior Bazaar 4: School Column 3, 4. Besides being a good fisherman Jin n y tried his hand at playing cupid this year. But we wonder if it was all for Bub’s sake. He certainly en- joyed the fishing trips on Sunday, but we never saw him bringing home any fish.
