THE SAM PI, EH 11 LAWRENCE GRAY General “Junto” “ lie played at the pigskin, and made it hound in the air, hath with fist and foot. J. V. Football. 1. 4: Varsity Football. 3. 4; J. V. Basketball, 1. 2; Varsity Football, 3, 4; Ski Team, 1; Track, 1, 4: Baseball, 3. A lady-killer if there ever was one. He has an amazing faculty for getting what he wants, be it on the football field, the basketball floor, or in his love affairs. Keep it up, Junie, and you’ll have the toughest Leathernecks eating out of your hands. ENRICO GRIPPO College “Rico” lie was a scholar, and a ripe and good one Football, 4; Baseball, 3, 4; School News, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; Vice President of class, 4. The boy who came over from North Walpole with only one thought in mind, to “stay away from the women. A certain girl seems to have changed his mind, however. Rico fills a pretty important position on the baseball field and also in the honor field. Congratulations, Rico! BEATRICE GUPTILL General Rea “Silence more musical than any song Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 3. Rea’s quiet, gentle manner will be very soothing to her patients. It’s quite possible you might meet that certain soldier on the battle-field. But for the present you can enjoy yourself at the Grange dances, and that isn t hard is it, Bea? ELEANOR HAGGINS General Ditto “H7 met—'twas on a furlough Interclass Basketball. 1, 3; Varsity, 4; (ilee Club, 1; Spotlight Club. 2. 4. Senior Bazaar, 3; School Column, 4: Senior Play, 4; Sec. Girls Athletic Club, 2: Opera House Committee, 3; Bowling team, 2. This year “Ditto has been one of Mrs. Jones’ best standbys. Perhaps her vitality is due to having a service brother with a lot of handsome friends Cheer up, Eleanor, the army’ll still need hostesses when you graduate. BARBARA HANSON College Bar! Flirtation without intention Interclass Basketball, 4, 3, 4: Glee Club, 4; Spotlight Club, 4. 4; Treasurer, 4; Junior Prom. 3: Senior Hop. 3; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 3; “Sugar and Spice, 2; “Georgie Porgie, “Elmer, 3; “The Kid Makes I p His Mind, 4; Treasurer A. A., 4; Sampler Board, 4. “ Love them and leave them ’ was Barb s mot'o until a certain boy from Springfield stepped in. It’s a puzzle whether she’ll be an army or a navy nurse. The latter seems to have preference now. He must be a smart boy to pass the V-12 test.

10 THE SAMPLER WILLIAM CYRS General BiUy “ Let's talk of yrares, oj worms and epitaphs Hand, 1; Spotlight Club, 2, 4; Junior Prom, 3; “Nobody Sleeps,’ 4; “The Kid Makes I’p His Mind,” 4. The mad scientist and biologist, of the class! Darwin’s “Theory of Kvolution” has nothing on Hilly’s “Theory on How to Feed Haby Robins.” His theory—Feed ’Em Peaches and Kill Em—and he ought to know, he tried it. SHIRLEY DOWLING General “Shiri “ SI any friends in general; one in special Interclass Hasketball, 3, 4; School Column, 3; Costumes Play Night, 4. A red-headed spitfire who is never lacking a snappy comeback. Where there’s good skating ice, there’s Shirley—and where there’s Charlestown, there she is again. HEVERLY FENNO Commercial “Bee'’ “ Hang sorrow! Care trill kill a cat, and therefore let's be merry (ilee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 2: Junior Prom, 3. Rev should be an experienced penman by the time Gil comes back. She certainly writes enough letters. Must be the new air-mail rates don’t deter her, for we still find them cluttering up her desk. ERNEST FRENETTE General Ernie Silence best speaks the mind Senior Razaar, 4. The quiet ? boy from the Terrace, but to look at him in English or socio- logy class one wouldn’t think so. Ernie is expecting a promotion in the lailroad business, next to Kissell, of course. JEAN GAY Commercial Jean Man has his trill—but woman has her way Glee Club, 1, 2; Social Science Club, 1; Spotlight Club, 1, 2; Senior Hop, 3; Manager of Girls Hasketball Team, 3, 4. The (iageville belle who has started flutters in two hearts this year. There isn’t any man-shortage as far as Jean is concerned for she had the problem, or should we say privilege, of choosing between the two. She finally chose the boy from this side of the river but North Walpole gave Gray so quite a run for his money. Some fun.

12 THE SAMPLER THOMAS HAYES College “Tommy” “ Be a little on your guard, lie member, he in an actor” Basketball, .‘I, 4; Football, 8, 4; Interci ass Basketball, 8, 4; Spotlight Club, 4: Bond Dance, 8; School Column, 8; “Elmer,” 8; “Nobody Sleeps,” 4; “Jacob Comes Home,” 4; Windham-Windsor County Oratorical Champion, 8: Best Actor Award, 4. Tommy is our best actor and proved it in “Jacob Comes Home.” On the day before warnings arc sent out you can usually find Tommy making up about 5 or 10 experiments and several English practices. Shouldn’t spend ?o much time in Gageville, Tom. SHIRLEY HILLIARD General “Skirl” “Anywhere, anywhere out of the world” Glee Club, 1, 2. Shirley, does school really bore you as much as it seems to? Or isn’t that the :eiaon why you want to “get away from it all?” Could it have anything to do with “a guy named Joe?” Never mind,- we understand, perfectly. CLARA JCRKOIC Commercial “C'uckie” “General notions are generally wrong” Glee Club, 1; Senior Bazaar, 4; School Column, 4. Like Peanuts, Clara’s right hand man, Clara’s continually “tor- mented by the teachers for her uncontrollable tongue. Maybe if you saved some of this energy you could get caught up in your typing, Clara; but then Miss Santamaria would be lost without her every nitc after school,—or would she?! ARLINE KARPINSKI College “Nelea” “ Kissing is the hey of lore” Basketball, 4; Spotlight Club, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 8; School Column, 8, 4; “Elmer, 8; properties, “Nobody Sleeps” and “The Kid Makes l'p His Mind,” 4. The puzzling girl from North Walpole. (We think a certain senior holds the limelight in her life.) It’s quite an advantage to be a friend of the family, especially when it’s the right family. If anyone wants dancing lessons just con- sult Nelca. We’re sure she’ll be obliging. JEAN ANN KENNEALLY General “Jean Ann” “ hold he lores me best that is called “ Tom ” Junior Prom, 8; Senior Bazaar, 4. The girl who seems to have “ Love Trouble” for a middle name. Things always turn out right in the end, though. The “local boy” seems to occupy most of her time and the rest is spent writing letters, we mean A letter. Those looks that pass from him to her in Room 11 solve the problem.
