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.

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!

THE SAMPLER 15 THELMA LOCKWOOD Scientific “Thd” “ A com panion that is cheerful is worth gold” Interclass Basketball, 1, 2; Band, 3. 4; Secretary, 4; Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; All-State Orchestra, 3; Spotlight Club, 3, 4; Glee Club, 1, 2; Music Committee, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Ball, 4; Junior Prom, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; Play Night Staff, 4; “Guess Again,” 4; “Little Nell,” 3; Monitor 4: Tli- Schooler, 3, 4; Sampler Board. 4; Student Librarian, 3. Although she was voted best-natured girl, Thel’s remarkable disposition and her big grin speak well for themselves. If she looks as though she were aimlessly going nowhere, don’t let her fool you. She’s usually up to some- thing, maybe it’s mischief. Thelma doesn’t blush easily, but just ask her to demonstrate the “Uplift Walk.” Take an even temper, add beauty, brains and personality—and what more could anyone want? ALOIS LOVELL General “Aldie ''Let men sup what e'er the; wi'l Woman, woman rules them still. Interclass Basketball, 4; Glee Club, 1,2; Band, 1, 4; Sophomore Octet, 2; Home Economic Club, 4; Dramatics Club, 3, 4; Junior Music Committee, 3; Hi-Schooler, 3; “The Perfect Gentleman,” 3; “Little Nell,” 3; “Back of the Yards,’ 4; “Guess Again,” 4; Monitor, 4. The liveliest kid in the Senior class—that’s Aldie! Her love affairs and her hair cuts have kept us entertained from the freshman year right up until now. Aldis lias talent plus when it comes to acting, but ask for her own personal opinion of her basketball ability. Between figuring out a way to get home, and keeping track of Scuggs, this little blonde leads a busy life. MARIE MAPFEO COMMERCIAL “Maffeo “ Brevity is the soul of urii Interclass Basketball, 3; Octet, 2; Glee Club, 2, 4; Dramatics Club, 4; School Column, 3; “Rich Man, Poor Man,” 4; Monitor, 4. Always moving, talking, making noise, Marie is the girl who wears out her shoes walking from the high school to the paper mill. It must be quite a job to rate your precious ration coupon! Joining the Waves? They need good secretaries! You and the Navy have something in common anyway, haven’t you? EDITII MERCURIO General “ Edie “Cheerfulness, sir, is the principal ingredient in the composition of health” Glee Club, 1, 2; Home Economic Club, 4; Senior Hop, 3; Junior Prom, 3; Senior Thanksgiving Ball, 4; “Guess Again” Staff, 4; Hi-Schooler, 3. Comes a school vacation, and off she goes to Boston. Is it really to see your aunt, Edith? Oh, now—honestly! One of the most willing workers in the class, she’s on hand for every formal dance, doing all the little jobs no one else can find time for. Besides being the decoration chairman’s right-hand man, Edie is one of the most promising art students in school.
