T II E S A M P L E K PATRICIA HART Commercial “Patty” “ A penny for your thoughts” School Column, 8. If you meet a girl in the hall who gives you a big grin, that’s Pat. Her ambition has made her a character, and the kids know well where to call when there’s something to be done. And if you’re looking for something in New- berry’s, she’s sole operator of the information department. “Anywhere, any- time,” that's her motto. Keeping time with that tall, dark and handsome can’t be other than a pleasant task, Patty. ANGUS HEBB General “Dor “ All the world's a stage” Interclass Basketball, 2; Tennis, 1, 8; Dramatics Club. 3, 4; “Dweller in the Darkness,” 4; “Back of the Yards,” 4; “Guess Again,” 4; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3. Wherever there’s a stage—there’s Angus! He well deserves the title of “Best Actor.” Remember Guess Again” and “The Perfect Gentleman?” (The cast never forgave him for those smelly fish). Outside of being probably the most enthusiastic of the dramatists, Angus doesn’t believe in over-exertion. He belongs to the school of “time, time, there’s a world of it to be had.” Ask the English class! And when you want a poem in a hurry - that is if you don’t mind having it begin “Roses are red,”—the talented blonde Senior would be glad to oolige! ELEANOR HINDES Commercial “Cherry” “StiU water runs deep” Here comes Cherry, right on the dot! Exactly one minute later, the last bell rings. It never fails! What do you have to do at home that takes you so long? Social life? Oh, no! Not that early in the morning!! All kidding aside, how about beating Mr. Osborn to it, just one morning? JOHN HOULIHAN Commercial “Kicker” “God bless my ladies. Are they all in love?” Football, 2; Junior Music Committee, 3; School Column, 3; Senior Class Treasurer, 4. The biggest unsolved mystery in the class is just where he acquired that nickname! His North Walpole contemporaries could tell you, but they won’t! Kicker is the one boy that the other nine honor students didn’t succeed in out- doing. They claim they tried every method except feeding him one of his own soda-fountain concoctions—they just didn’t have the heart!! Off women for life? Well, no—just temporarily!

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.

T H E S A M P L E It ANNE ILLINGWORTH Classical “Anne” “Such street compulsion doth in music lie” Interclass Basketball. 1, 4; Glee Club, 1. 2, 4; Band, 1. 2, 3, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; Latin Club, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Hop, 3; Junior Music Committee, 3; Hi-Schooler, 3; Sampler, 3, 4; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; “Guess Again,” 4: Properties, “Back of the Yards,” 4; Monitor, 4. Anne’s one girl who seems to have her future well organized. The Army Air Corps takes only the best, anyway. Many a night she can be found work- ing industriously down at the Youth Center, and the odd part is—she enjoys doing it. Anne is going to I’. V. M. next year to further her musical career. Incidentally, if you’ve never heard her play either the piano or the trumpet, you should. Pretty, intelligent and ambitious, she’s fun to be with, and fun to know. PHYLLIS KARPINSKI General “Phil” “ If thou dost play with her at any game, thou art sure to lose” Basketball, 3, 4; Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; All-State Basketball Team, 4; Softball, 1, 3, 4; Glee Club, 3; Dramatics Club, 4; Junior Prom, 3; Thanksgiv- ing Ball. 4; Senior Hop, 3; School Column, 3; “Rich Man, Poor Man,” 4. A first string member of the All-State basketball team, the B. F. girls wouldn’t have had that perfect record if Phyllis hadn’t been in there fighting. There is an acquaintance that doesn’t take any guarding whatsoever, but we aren’t supposed to know about that. Complicated, isn’t it? At any rate, if Phyll makes as good a gym teacher as she does a friend, can you ask for any- thing better? BEVERLY’ KIMBALL Commercial “Bev” “Anything for a quiet life” Senior Play Staff, 4. Who cracked that joke? Ix ok in the middle of that laughing group, and there you’ll find—you’ve guessed it! Bev. She’s little and quiet, but oh my! Her love life provides the mystery they say we need to keep us interested. Never mind, Bev we think we understand. Keep up the good work and you’ll be prepared for a ready-made job in the D. A.’s office. Jt’NE LILLIE General “Junie” “Quid, till you get to know her” School Column, 3; Senior Play Staff, 4. The girl with the big smile and the good word for everyone. Although she’s really the quietest girl in the class, her private life would make you sit up and take notice. Always willing to lend a hand, her kind disposition and her pleasant smile are the biggest and best characteristics that go into the making of a good nurse.
