THE SAMPLER 11 BETTY FISH Classical Fishy “Humor 9 daughter, made up of irisdom and of fun Latin Club, 8, 4; Junior Prom, 8; Senior Hop, 3; Ili-Schooler, 3; Junior and Senior Class Secretary, Monitor, 4; Girls’ State, 3; Home Room Com- mittee, 3; Student Librarian, 3, 4; Latin Club, 3; Sampler Board, 4. The second honor student of our class! You certainly deserved the honor and we’re all proud of you. What’s this we hear about Rutland? The games were all very interesting, weren’t they? Why do you like that song “ My Buddy?” Oh, those air mail letters must explain everything. Here’s luck to a swell kid. LORETTA FLAVIN General “ Retta “Better late than never Glee Club, 2, 3; Latin Club, 2, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 4; Thanksgiving Ball, 4. Loretta’s another one who just hates to get up in the morning. She usually tracks into school around ten or fifteen minutes late. What’s this we hear about Bratt, Loretta? Maybe you should have been more secretive about it. With your looks, Loretta, we think you’ll get by and you will! Good luck to you! BARBARA GILLIS General “Barb “ 1 never let studying interfere with my education' Interclass Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Softball, 3; Sampler Typist, 4; Home Room Committee, 3; School Column, 3; Hi-Schooler, 4; Cheer Leader, 3, 4. It’s strictly a one-man world for Barb and that one man is Barty. When- ever you hear laughter you can be assured that Barb is the cause of it. She always had an answer for Mr. McCarthy. When the class voted on “ Wittiest Girl,” Barb literally walked off with the title. ROBERT GILLIS General “Bob “ The dignity and height of honor Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Thanksgiving Ball, 4; Junior High Tournament Director, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Monitor System Captain, 4. Captain of the football team and what a captain! After the Springfield football game, the team showed their appreciation of him. Outstanding in the athletic field, Bob was chosen captain of the All-State schoolboy football team. Bobby is active in most all sports, and he’s not so bad in the field of romance, either. It’s such a long walk from your house to Old Terrace Street—how do you do it? Never mind, Bob, we would too if we had a girl like that!

10 THE SAMPLER MARY CROTTY Classical “CrouT “She w pretty to walk with and witty to talk with and pleasant too, to think on” Interclass basketball, 1; coach 4; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Softball, 3, 4; Sports Club Representative, J; Glee Club, 1; Dramatics, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club, 4; Freshman Reception, 4; Assemblies, 3, 4; Junior Ring Committee, 3; Hi- Schooler Editor-in-chief, 3; Senior Sampler Editor-in-chief, 4; “Who Says Can't,” 1; Monitor, 4; Girls’ State, 3; Cheer leading 2, 3, 4; Co-captain, 4. That smile! It certainly has gotten her places—or should we say things? Whether it may be home or away, she always uses it to its best advantages. Never mind, Mary, we’re just jealous. Mary has been a great help to Mrs. Jones on the basketball team and outstanding as a cheer leader. She has shown ability as a newspaper woman being Editor-in-chief of Hi-Schooler in her Junior year,and Editor-in-chief of the Sampler. And as an actress, she was the only girl who rated “practically a proposal” right there on the stage. Best of luck in your college career, Mary! CARL DAMORE General “ D amore” “ My way is to begin with the beginning ” Junior Music Committee, 3, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Bazaar, 3; Baseball, 4. The “mad scientist” who hailed from North Walpole in his sophomore year. In the back of study hall he doesn’t seem to be making too much noise but we have come to the conclusion that he may be the cause of all Mr. Os- born’s worries. Or what is that mocking grin in favor of, Carl? With Butch in front of him there isn’t much else he can do! CLAUDE DEXTER General “Lover” “ When I said I should die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married” Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3. The boy who was chosen Best Athlete has certainly proved that he de- serves it. He was both Captain of the basketball team and chosen on the All- State Football Team. Lover has set many a girl’s heart afluttering, but his interest now centers around only one Junior girl. You can often see Lover with gas coupons but no car! He gets by though!! We think you’ll make a swell coach, I over, but don’t let anything interfere with your plans. JEANNETTE ENO Commercial “ Blondie” “ The silent girl is the best to listen to” School Column, 3. We never hear very much from Jeannette around school, but we under- stand that with her winsome ways and smile she has made quite a hit with the Navy. She must be living up to that old saying, “Still water runs deep.” By the way, what ever became of Wilmington?

12 T II ESA M P L E H JOHN GRIPPO General “Johnny” “I'll catch it ere it come to ground” Baseball, 3, 4; Basketball, 4; Interclass Basketball, 3, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Thanksgiving Ball, 4; Senior Play Staff, 4. The shoemaker’s son, but don’t let that fool you. Shoes aren’t his only interest. For a while his attentions were centered on an Atkinson street belle, but right now he’s absorbed in baseball. (Johnny’s the B. F. star catcher.) And after listening to his comebacks in history class, we’re inclined to think that he knows—well, not quite all of the answers- but most of them. ELAINE GRISWOLD General “Griz” “She has heard the chimes at midnight” Glee Club, 1; Home Ec. Club, 4; Spotlight Club, 2, 4; Staff, “Guess Again,” 4. Suddenly a loud, wholesome laugh rang out! Cm, that’s Griz. Her big ambition? Why, to be the first one into Room II in the morning. We sincerely hope that her driving lessons don’t result in anything worse than a banged-up fender or two, but we hold our breath whenever the ambulance rolls by! Noted for her versatility, this Fenton and Hennessey employee claims this time it’s really serious, and agrees that Springfield is a nice little place. WILLARD HANSON Scientific “Bill” “7 0re and a red rose can't be hid” Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 4; Assembly Committee, 1; Junior Prom, 3; Editor, Hi-Schooler, 3; Student Council Vice-Chairman, 4; Junior Class Vice President, 3; Boys State, 3. Billy, the quiet boy of the class, except when it comes to football, basket- ball, and a few other things. He says his interests are purely literary, or may- be he’s just a terribly ardent recruit for Co. I). Anyway, he does a good job of patroling Westminster Street. Congratulations Bill, not evervone can izet “Best Looking.” HOLLIS HARLOW General “Hocker” “If there isn't any fun, I start a circus of my oirn” Football, 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball, 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball, 1; Junior Prom, 3; School Column, 3; “Who Says Can’t” I; Monitor, 4. Where’s Hocker? Where there’s mischief! An all-round sportsman, his motto is “A good time at any cost!” Sports, fun, women, the daily routine for Hocker. What a life! With his wit and easy-to-get-along-with manner, no wonder he’s so popular. Where would we be without him in both basketball and football? You’ll get by, Hocker, you’ll get by.
