 20 T II E S A M P L E R DONALD MAYNARD (ieneral Don” “ am the greatest above degree That is, or was, or ever shall be.” Stage Manager of Senior Bazaar. Whenever you see Don studiously working at his desk don’t worry; it’s not studying lie’s doing hut showing off his artistic ability. Never mind, Don, keep it up; maybe someday those Hollywood artists won’t have anything on you. HELEN MICHNIEWICZ General Helen” “ Diversity—that's my motto.” Basketball Varsity 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1; Senior Bazaar 4; Prompter Grand Cham’s Diamond, Junior Prom 3. You never see Helen around much, but we hear she has plenty to occupy her time. We know Helen has one love—basketball. Her record has shown her ability on the court. CARROLL MORRIS General Carl” Here's the laughter that shook the rafter, Where's the rafter, by the way?” Football, J. V. 3; Football Varsity 4; Track 3; Five Characters in Search of a Change 3, Grand Cham’s Diamond 4. Carroll is the class mischief maker from Bartonsville. We wonder what Co. I) would do without Carroll’s knowledge of military discipline, if you can imagine Carroll knowing anything about any kind of discipline. VIRGINIA MORRISON General “ Virginia” “ My heart's a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill.” Here’s another one of those Saxtons River girls with a swell personality, “(iinny” is always ready and willing to do anything for anybody. She likes kids so well that now she wants to be a teacher. Maybe she has the right idea. MYRTLE NICHOLS General “ Myrt” “ Always doing, never done. ” Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Glee Club 4. We hear Myrtle is going to change her place of residence from Saxtons River to Grafton. What attraction has Grafton got? We’re sure, however, it’s not just the atmosphere.

THE S A MPLE R If) JOHN LEACH College Preparatory “Mopey “ Better to yet up lute ami be wide awake then, Than to get up early and be asleep all day. Football 4, 3, 4; Skiing 1, 4, 3; Glee Club 1, 3; Dramatic Club 3; School Column 3; Heart Trouble, Circumstantial Evidence, Senior Bazaar. Since Mopey has left for the Navy, our English class has lost a good source f questions and arguments. The Navy must have accomplished something to inspire Mopey to receive the excellent marks we heard he got. LETHA LESCORD General “Letha Strength of heart and might of limb. Dramatic 3, Brattleboro Reformer 3. One of the future nurses of the senior class. This class certainly will have its share of nurses. We wish you luck in your course at Burbank. EDWARD LONG College Preparatory Eddie “ Birds can fly so why cant ?“ Skiing 1, 4; Senior Bazaar 3. We hear Eddie had quite a time digesting waffles the night of the Prom. Eddie should be congratulated on passing the Y-14 test. Maybe a Navy uniform can help him win a certain Senior girl—he’s tried everything else. HENRY LUCIER General “Girard “ Young fellows will be young fellows. Skiing 4; School Column 3. Girard certainly proved himself to be a jitterbug the night of the Prom. He also showed he has musical ability by pounding out the downbeat on test tubes up in Chemistry class. FRANKLIN LYNCH General Frank I agree with no man's opinions, I hare my own. We always knew Franklin was a good hunter, but now we hear he's giving lessons every Sunday afternoon at a certain farm. How’s the hunting, Frank?

T II E S A M P L E R w21 CHARLOTTE NOYES College Preparatory “Charlie” “ An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” Interclass basketball 1; Rand, Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Glee C lub 1, 2; Roman Banquet 3; School Column 3, 4; Burlington Music Festival 3. Charlotte took fifth honor and has certainly proved in all her classes that she deserves it. She’s one of the Latin Department’s prides, even though Miss Wilcox could never get her name straight. JOHN OBVCHOWSKI General Oba “ The man who blushes is not quite a brute” Basketball J. V. 2; Junior Prom 2; Senior Bazaar 3. Nothing can be said about the A. P. when Oba is around. Every once in a while Oba gets the urge to go to Boston. We wonder where he spends his time when he gets there. As if we didn’t know. ESTELLE O’CONNOR General “Topsy “Conversation never sits easier than when mixed with laughter.' Interclass Basketball 4; Glee Club 1; Dramatic Club 3; School Column 3, t; “ Five Characters in search of a Change” 3. Topsy is the quiet (?) girl from the Terrace, maybe it’s because she does such a lot of thinking—about a certain redhead. We hear she applied for training in a Burlington hospital just to be nearer I . . M. loo bad the Army wouldn’t let him stay there. DONALD PIERCE General “ Woman would be more charming if one could fall into her arms without falling into her hands.' Orchestra 3, 4; Band 3, 4; Jazz Band 4. Another one of our boys who left us to join the Navy. Don certainly gave his share of pep to the jazz band by blowing hot licks on his trumpet But then he has other interests in the band, too. STANLEY PIYOWAR College Preparatory “Father” “He's a man of few words, but he keeps repeating them. Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 8; Roman Ban- quet 3; School Column 3, 4; The future manager of the First National; but if he had his way, he d be managing a bashful miss in this class. But we guess that was and is a dream in vain. Wonder what happened to his ambition to be a priest.
