 24 T II E S A M P L E It BARBARA STOKY College Preparatory “Barb” “ Light or dark, .short or tall, she sets a trap to snare them all.” I pon her arrival last fall. Barb created quite a sensation among the B. F. “he-men . Of late her interest has centered about one lone Junior. For being a newcomer, and incidentally the youngest member of the class. Barb accomplished quite a feat when she captured eighth honor. ROSE SULLIVAN General “Rosie” “ II ith the help of a surgeon, she might yet recover. (dee Club 1, 2; Dramatics 3; Sampler Board 4; School Column 3; Five Characters in Search of a Change 3, “ Antic Spring 4. Rosie’s favorite subject is typing—at least she expended the most energy on it, vocal included. She proved herself a worthy actress. Rosie had her trials and tribulations with a young underclassman too. MARGARET SYLVESTER General “Margaret” I lore traru uil solitude and such society that is quiet, iei.se, and good. School Column 3. Margaret’s ambition is to be a nurse, we hear, and we think she’ll make a good one. She is quiet and intelligent and we think she ought to be able to ha mile any patient. MELVIN THOMAS General “See hoie long and tall he isl “Melrin” Dramatics 3; Senior Bazaar 4; Reformer 3; Commencement Committee 3; Five Characters in Search of a Change 3, Antic Spring 4. hen Melvin left for the Navy the class lost a good actor, for he was al- ways in the midst of any play that came along. Melvin was always the joy of all the study hall teachers with his quiet step down the aisles! VELMA THOMPSON General “Velma” “A irell-brcd silence always at command. (ilee Club 1, 2; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; All-state Orchestra 3. There seems to be an abundance of quiet girls in our class this year though a giggle did escape from Velma every so often. Maybe her quiet manner in class is deceiving for she certainly won the admiration of one fellow in the class.

T II E S A M P L E H 23 CORINNE SLATTERY General “Slats” “Hi keeping men off, you keep them on.” Interclass 1, 2; Dramatic Club 3; Senior Bazaar 4; School Column 3. Outside of school and Newberry’s, Corinne seems to make herself scarce. We are told though that she has her share of beausfrom out of town,and with • hat engaging grin and devilish gleam in her eye it is small wonder. IEAN ANN SPICER Commercial “Jean Ann” “Her eyes loir they brink'e, h r dimples how merryi” Varsity Basketball 3, 4; Senior Hop 3, School column 3. Certainly the hike from Gageville every day doesn’t harm Jean Ann’s disposition any. for she has one of the most pleasant smiles we’ve ever seen. The big chair on her porch gets rather lonesome these days, holding one where it used to hold two. jean STACK General “Jean” “ There is nothing more fun than a man.” Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 4; Seni r Octet 4; Jazz Band 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Senior Bazaar 4: School Column 3, 4. Our talented miss with the nimble fingers, Jean was the mainstay of our new “Jazz Band” this year. Just as she was beginning to interest a young eornhusker from Westminster, she and a tall blonde of this class developed a mutual interest in each other. But what we’re really wondering about is— are your dancing lessons free of charge? SOPHIE STAMBO Commercial “Sophie” “ want to he an angc and with the ange’s stand, .1 crown upon my forehead, a harp within my hand. School Column 3, 4. Sophie is one of the quieter members of the North Walpolites. Her hobby so we’re told, is raising rabbits. Maybe she’s trying to get enough for a fur coat next winter. MARJORIE STEVENS General “Margie” “ Beware of her fair hair for she excels all women in the magic of her locks.” Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 2, 3; Times 3; Brattleboro Reformer 3 Our lass with the beautiful golden tresses. Nowadays she divides her time between making doll’s dresses for her niece and writing letters since her man left her good care for that of the Navy.

T II E S A M P L E II 25 GEORGE TUCKER General “Georgie” “ mtf«i « the barber's for met hirtks I am marvelous hairy about the fare. Glee ('lul 1, Senior Hop 3; Junior Prom 3; Commencement Committee 3; Bazaar Play 4. In class George seems to he of the strong, silent type, hut you should hear his voice when he and Goodrich get together! He showed little interest in the opposite sex until a little blonde newcomer changed all that. He deserves credit, for all the backstage work he did for the plays. KATHERINE YAYO General Kay “She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk with, and pleasant, too,to think on Interclass Basketball 1. 2; (ilee Club 1; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Senior Bazaar 4; “Five Characters in Search of a Change” 3;Cheer-leading •1. 3, 4; Dramatics 3; Sampler Board 4; Girls’ State 4. Kay is one of the best-dressed, best liked, and most active girls in the Senior class. Before most any of the formal dances you might find Kay perch- ed on a ladder in the gym proving her artistic worth. She must have pull with a certain fellow to rate some of those nice big steaks at Clark’s farm this winter. CHARLES YOSBCRGH College Preparatory Champ “ To most people nothing is more troublesome than thinking. Football 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Hockey 2, 3; Interclass Basketball 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3: School column 3: Boys’ State 4; Class Treasurer 4; Co-captain Hockey Team, 3. Like John, Charlie is a combination of a swell kid and good sport—though a little on the sarcastic side. Many girls vied for Charlie’s attention, but he liked them one for all and all for one. We saw a great future for Charlie at Jack Hennessey’s if only the Army didn't have first claim. ALMON WELCH General “AC He was not merely a chip off the old block, but the old block himseff. Almon has beaten the straight and narrow path—usually to that gray house on School Street. He had competition too, sometimes, in the form of telephone calls and “surprise” visits. LOR AIN E WILLARD General Rainy She's sweet, she's neat, she's quite com plete. Interclass Basketball 1; Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4; School Column 3, 4. “Rainy” earned the titles “most modest” and “politest” girl and those certainly are virtues in these days. Despite her outward reserve, we guarantee she’s loads of fun when you really get to know her. And we hope someday, she’ll learn how to carry a bottle of ink!
