Jacqueline Curtis T II K S A M V L E K 9 WHO’S WHO LOUISE APOSTOLOS General “Wimpy9 “ Without men or in uric, life mould be i mistake Glee (Mub 2; Spotlight CMub 2, 3, 4; Senior Hop 3; Junior Prom 3; Fresh- man Reception; Thanksgiving Hall 4; Christmas Dance 3; “Statistically Yours” S; “Silver Lining” 2: Play Nite 2, 3. Louise, the ace dancer of the class, has carried on the title of her sisters before her. You should see her cut a rug. Ask her if she likes to play cards? Louise is the girl who gets around. She has just one wonderful time having fun ami dates with both boys and girls. Remember Sophomore Nite when l ouise took a part in the play and learned it in exactly 10 hours and gave a remarkable performance. That’s Louise! MYRA ASHCROFT General “Myra People trho make no noise are dangerous Vilas High: Basketball, Volleyball 1; Special Chorus 1, 2; High School Chorus 1, 2, 3; Freshman Reception 4; St. Patrick’s Social 2: Halloween Party 3; Christmas Party 1; Senior Prom 3: Class Secretary 3, 4. Myra’s the girl with the friendly smile. Typing is her great headache, but she certainly worked hard every night after school making up her filing. We wonder if Room 22 will miss her next year. In Myra. Vilas lost a great worker and its Senior (Mass secretary. Boston University is her destination. PAUL AUMAND General “ Pauly99 “.So much is a man north as he esteems himself” Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4: Treasurer of A.A. 4; Monitor 3, 4. An ace athlete, a star player, Pauly has made history in B. F. II. S. None of us will forget those breathless days wondering whether Paul was in the mood or not. (We mean a winning mood!) When he got out on the basketball floor, you could hear the girls sigh. Yes, Paul is also a ladies’ man. What- ever is your chosen field, we hope you are as great a success as in the sports you played in good old B. F. DONALD AVERILL Commercial “ Donnie” “A scholar and a gentleman ripe and good Spotlight (Mub 2, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; “Knave of Hearts” 2; “Rich Man Poor Man” 3; Operetta 3; “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals” 4; Monitor 4. Have you ever seen Abbot without Costello, Averill without Huntoon? 'Fheir minds just seem to click together even when it comes to choosing belles for formal dances. We didn’t know we had a minister in the class -until we saw Donnie’s dramatic ability in “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals.” Donny has had many parts and has done them all well. Good luck to one who is definitely destined to succeed. MARY BALD ASARO Commercial “Mary99 “Charity is patient, is kind Interclass Basketball 2. 4; Interclass Volleyball 2: Spotlight Club 3, 4; “Rich Man, Poor Man” 3; Monitor System 3, 4. Mary is one of the little girls of the Senior class. (We think she’s even shorter than Rita!) Mary is a good sport and a brilliant student. She knows all the answers in English class. Where do you get them all? In everything she says and does, you can’t help noticing how nice Mary is. Becker will certainly have a wonderful pupil anil Mary will succeed in her ambition. 10 T H E S A M P L E R CHARLES BALL General “Charlie “Silence wore musical than any song One of the few quiet gentlemen of the Senior class Charlie is the wonder of the General Chemistry class. Keeping an A in that subject is outstanding in itself. Sociology is another subject where Charlie sometimes expresses him- self. If is theories are worth listening to. Charlie speaks so seldom, we hardly know what his voice sounds like. He is the most modest boy and we wish him all the success in the work he has chosen. MARION BALLOU General “Marianne “Spunk and courage, shy hut gay .1 type one doesn't find each day Glee Club 1; Latin Club 2: Hi! Schooler 2, 3; Junior Nile 3. Don’t let that soft voice ami gentle manner deceive you. Marion may be modest and unassuming, but when you aren’t looking she really gets things done, especially in Home Ec. She hails from Pleasant Valley and her disposi- tion matches the name of the place. Ask her about the day she didn’t get her lunch on account of a certain Senior girl. Best of luck to you, Marion. FLORENCE BARNES General “ Torchy “ trill draw my way through life I f someone, else, too, will follow the line Band 1. 2, 3; Orchestra 1. 2, 3: Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Senior Hop 3; Hi! Schooler 3; “Rich Man. Poor Man” 3; “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals” 4: Student Librarian 2, 3. Generally a genial and good humored girl, you get her mail and her temper can match her flame-red hair, which may end up with you getting a custard in the face—ask her Dad. She’s an artist at heart and as emotional and temper- amental as they come. She has had her share of crushes, and she has also done her share of heart-breaking. There’s never a «lull moment when Torehy’s around. Good luck in art school. HAROLD BARTLETT General “ Rarty “He only is a well-made man who has a good determination. Interclass basketball 2, 3; Football 3; Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 2, 3, Lieu- tenant Monitor 3, V; S. A. B. 3, 4; President L (’lass President 3; Junior High Tournament Asst. Director 3; Director 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Freshman Reception 4; Spotlight Club 4; Junior Night 3; Playnight 4: AA President 4; Home Room President 3; Sampler Board 4. Here’s the answer to a woman’s prayer. Handsome, masterful, witty— he’s full of fun and laughter. Sometime you might ask him to tell you some of the jokes he tells in Sociology. You might ask him whose Ford he was rac- ing around in one Saturday night, but duck when he answers. He’s a grand athlete, a three letter man equally good in basketball, football, and baseball. The big little guy who helped head his football team of’44 into the State Championship. He deserves more credit than can be given. Bartv finds plenty of time for other things, and what things! We’re thinking maybe he’ll be president of our country someday, he did such a fine job as class president in our Junior year. He knows what he wants and usually gets it. There’s no «� ther personality in the « rl«l like Bartv. AUSTIN BRENNAN General “Beans “Someday I will shake not only the earth hut hearen also J-Y Football 4; J-Y Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Interclass Basketball I, 3, 4; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Junior Night 3; Monitor 3; The Doctor Has a Daughter” 4. Here is a man who hails, and we mean hails, from Green Street. Beans, who has a thorough knowledge of the country side and its inhabitants, has not shown too much interest in the opposite sex. That doesn’t take in the tourna- ment, of course. Austin was one of Mr. McCarthy’s ace men on the J. V’s. Austin was also one of Mr. McCarthy’s ace disturbances in Sociology! Good luck to Bruinless Beans. T II E S A M P L E R 11 MARILYN BROWN General “Rabe” “ A friendly ward, a I hough til deed, A friendly aid, to those in need. ;iee Clui) i, il, 4; “Gypsy Rover” .‘I; Mixed Glee Club 4; Home Ec. (Mill� 4; “Old Kentucky Garden” 4. Well, you made it. Marilyn. We wondered if the attractions of Chester would out rule us but we came out on top. If you always keep that friendly smile for your password, we know you will succeed. To one of Miss Hale's star pupils we wish the best of luck at Oastleton. AUDREY CENTER General “Audrey” “Still water runs deep.” Audrey is one of the quietest girls in the Senior class. She seems to be one of Miss Wilcox’s most ardent Latin students. Audrey, we must say, has a weakness for redheads. Therefore we’ll never know whether Audrey is as quiet as she seems unless we ask Jake. Well, Audrey? GEORGE COTE College “Stub” “ lie's a fool who thinks by force or skill To turn the current of a woman’s will” Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; J. V. Basketball 4; Band Orchestra i Latin Club £, 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Class Treasurer 3; Treasurer Latin Club 3; Vice- President A A 4. Although he has been here only two and a half years, he has made many friends. And what a football player! Windsor’s loss was our gain. His popularity got him the job of treasurer during our Junior year. Our hair turned gray when we saw all the money he kept, but our treasury always balanced, even to the end. George also has a slight trace of wolf blood (did we say slight?) But when George goes to college we hope that will tame him a little. A certain little Senior girl hopes the same. MARCELLA CRAY (ieneral “Irish’ “ hare fought a good fight. I hare finished my course” Softball i, 3, 4; Interclass Volleyball, 4; Bowling, 4; Interclass Basketball, 4; Home Ec. Club, 3, 4; Spotlight Club, 4; Freshman Reception, 4. Marcella is another Irish girl who lives in Bellows Falls. Here is a girl who hasn’t a worry in the world unless it’s Charlie. Every chance she gets she goes to Walpole. What for? Ask her and see if she’ll tell you. If you ever want to know anything about anyone, ask Marcella. She says she’s going to be a reporter on a newspaper for the gossip column! She has plenty of letters to write. We hope for her sake she’ll soon be able to write “ Mr.” Play your cards right, Marcv, and there’s a swell future in store for you. JACQUELINE CURTIS Commercial “Jackie” “ hate nobody; I am in charity with the world” Play Day, 3; Interclass Basketball, 3; Softball, 3; Glee Club, 1: Junior Night, 3; Christmas Ball, 3; Hi! Schooler, 4; Monitor 4. Who is that you hear shouting, “Keep your line”? That’s Jackie trying to maintain order in the hall, she’s one of THOSE monitors. You wonder now she can keep those kids in line, she’s so small, but she does! Jackie also does a lot of bustling around in Fletcher’s behind that bar. But she’s always ready to have fun, and Jackie’s fun to have around. T II E S A M P L E II 1 M EIA IN DAMON, JR. College “ Ding-Ding” “ lire for today, for tomorrow may nerer come Football, J. V..

Captain of the Monitor system, actor, basketball player, baseball star, artist, singer, add good looks, personality, brains, all equal Melvin Damon, another hard worker for the class. Playing half of the Springfield game with two cracked ribs shows us what lie’s made of. Mel is the iron man in sports. As for women, they dominate him. Especially one cute senior girl. And Mcl. if tomorrow comes, it’s a wonderful tomorrow for you. RAYMOND FOLSOM General “ toy” “.I glass is good, and a lass is good Interclass Basketball, 2, 8; Band, 1,2, 8; Orchestra, I, 2, .8; Junior Prom, 8; Hi! Schooler, 8. A musical flash! Better known as Harry James Folsom. Anyone hearing him play his trumpet knows there is some similarity. He certainly adds some- thing to the Jazz Band when he comes up with some hot dish” of his own. Keep up the good work, Ray. He’s a very likeable fellow, always willing to help a worthy cause. Like most men he has a healthy interest in the opposite sex. especially a certain little blonde who has completely captured his heart. KATHERINE FONTAINE General “ Kay Open wide the windows, the earn is green today Interclass Basketball. 2: Interclass Volleyball, 8; Sophomore Night, 2; Junior Night, 8; Junior Prom, 8; Thanksgiving Ball. 4; Christmas Dance, 8. Brown hair, blue eyes, pleasant personality, good sport. These describe Kay. She always has a smile on her face, and whenever anyone cracks a joke s e laughs at it, whether it’s funny or not. Although she is very quiet when she’s around school, she’s quite different outside. Her one ambition is to grow to the height of .5' . ALICE FULLER College “Alice She should, she could, she would, she did her best Deerfield: Glee Club, 2; Sophomore Hop, 2; Class Monthly Dances; Junior Prom, 8: Business Board, 2, 8; Class Plays, 1, 2, 8; Tattler Staff. I, 2; Arrow Board, 2. Alice is another newcomer to the class. One of the Saxtons River gang.she would much rather live in Bellows Falls than ride back and forth in the Covered Wagon. She doesn’t think she would have made a good pioneer. It has al- ways been a mystery to us how Alice manages to do her experiments alone and still finish before the rest of the class. Maybe Mr. Davis could give the answer. Perhaps we have another Madame Curie in the making. SYLVIA GORDON College Slim “ Who is Sylria? II7 «y is she?

Schooler 8. If Slim gets any slimmer, we won’t even be able to find her. But I guess Paderewski can still play the piano no matter how thin she is. This girl can play anything from the One Finger Concerto to Kachmanioff Prelude. Sylvia tried to become a basketball star this year, but she couldn't seem to keep her face and fingers out of the way of the ball. And, after all, she can’t play the piano with two broken fingers and two black eyes. Sylvia has a brilliant musical career ahead of her. And surely she should be complimented for tak- ing Spanish for three years; in fact, she is so well trained in this subject that she can now reply “Si, Senor and “No, Senor”,to Mr. Osborn’s questions. Oh, by the way, Sylvia, how are the boys from Harvard? We hear you hud a lot of fun—!!! T II E S A M P L E R 13 JACQUELINE GREENOUGII Commercial “ Jackie' “ Then xhe trill toll:; yc gods how she trill talk.” Interclass Volleyball .‘I; Interclass Basketball 2, 8; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Librarian 2 'l'his little French girl who comes from North Walpole seems to be bavin a little trouble trying to decide whether she'll stay around here or fly away with the Air Corps. Jackie always seems to be smiling about nothing in particular unless maybe—no, she’ll wait. Lots of luck, Jackie, with or without the Air Corps. CHARLES GROUT General “Sampson” “Sometimes I wonder—Olherlimes I know.” Football 2, .3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, I; Basketball 2 Career Club 1. Sampson came to join us this year on our road to graduation and, even though the road was hard, he made it. Sampson may be graduating, but it’s a shame the Sophomore class is so many years behind! Sampson showed his worth on the football team, and he also starred in baseball. Shorty didn’t go so much for basketball. By the way, Sampson, what’s your middle name? limn!! GURNSEY HAMMOND General “Gurnsey” “It is very hard to seek to please everybody” Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 4, 3, 4; Class President 4; Monitor 3; Spotlight Club 3, 4; Junior Night 3 A combination of a swell kid and a super athlete make up Gurnsey. The boy from B. F. who made the All-State Teams in basketball and football. Three cheers for our great athlete! And congratulations on the swell job you did as our class president this past year. We all know Gurnsev’s life and ambition. Best of luck to both of you. MARTHA HAUCK College “Herky” “Honor to whom honoris dor Latin Club 2, 3, t; Treasurer 2, 4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Secretary 3, 4; Spot- light Club 2, 3, 4; Treasurer 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Re- ception 4; Pep Rally Dance 4: Thanksgiving Ball 4; Hi!

Poor Man,” Stage 3; Junior Night 3; Old Lady Shows Her Medals ’ Stage 4; Senior Sampler 4. The tall, modest, dark-haired girl of the Senior ( lass who has a smile for everyone. Martha’s gay and full of mischief. Don’t let her quiet, shy manner fool you. When she’s alone she always seems to be singing a popular song, but, when she knows someone is listening, she always stops. Why should you be so embarrassed? You’ve got a wonderful voice! And just try and get her to sing and you’ll find out how she got the name Herky. Martha’s kind and con- siderate and everyone likes her. MARY HAUCK College “Mary' Worthy art thou to receive honor and glory ” Monitor 4; Student Advisory Board; Vice-President, 4: Latin Club 2, 3,4; Spanish Club 3, 4; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Secretary 3, 4; Class Secretary 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Freshman Reception 4; Pep Rally Dance 4; Hi!

Poor Man” 3; “Back of the Yards” 3;Junior Night 3,“01d Lady Shows Her Medals” 4; State Contest Play 2, 4. “The Doctor Has A Daughter” 4: Home Room Treasurer, 3. Here’s the girl who never lets you down. Mary has led us through every- thing imaginable for four years. She has worked hard and endlessly for tin- class and to her goes the credit for the success of many activities. And a toast to a grand actress and a star someday. But lifejsn’t all work for Mary. She’s got personality, laughter and looks. Mary’s the star pupil of the Spanish class. Mary and Mr. Osborn have quite a time with some of the Senor’s confusing questions. All in all. Mary’s a swell kid and the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Girl of 194G. We all know she’ll be a success. Good luck, Mary. T II E S A M P L E H 14 ROBERT HIGGINS General “Uiggy” “ You hare a head to contrive, a tongue to persuade, and a hand to execute any mischief.” Basketball 3, 4; Interci ass Basketball 1, 3; Football 3; Baseball 3, 4; Glee Club 4; “The Doctor Has A Daughter” 4. No worries, no cares, life is just one happy game for Higgv. He’ll set out from Rockingham to get his fame. Football and basketball, these are his main interests. Studies are to him a mere jest. You can hear him anytime, talking to someone whether near or far. He’s so bashful, so they tell us. Some people say he’d rather have a square meal than girls. We wonder!! HELEN HITCHC’OCK Commercial Helen” “ Thy modesty is a candle to thy merit“ Junior Night 3; Hi! Schooler 3, 4; Monitor, Secretary, 4; Senior Sampler Typist 4. When Edgar Bergen says to Mortimer Snerd, “How can you be so stupid?,’’ it reminds one of a question that should be asked of Helen, “How can you be so smart?” Although you’re very modest, we realize you can’t be just average and get the marks you do. A prize commercial student, no one knows what Miss Santamaria would do without Helen to answer all the questions. And those who have seen your art work can prophesy that this, coupled with your scholastic ability, leads the way to success. RALPH HUNTOON Commercial Ralph” His very foot has music in it as he comes up the stairs” Spotlight Club 3, 4; Sophomore Night £: Junior Night 3; Senior Night 4. The half of the whole. This is the bigger half, or rather taller. Ralph is definitely musically inclined. Did you ever hear him and his famous “boogy- woogy” arrangements? Remember “One Meatball.” Ralph has a good job, too playing the instrument he loves. He also has majored in the commercial course. We think he’ll make a wonderful secretary. Oh yes, we must mention Ralph’s camera. Many pictures has it taken—h-m-m-m! LORA HUTCHINS General “Blondie” “Life is tchat you make it” (ilee Club 4; Librarian i. Well, Blondie, you do get around, don’t you! We hear that Albany, New York, is quite a place. We also surmised that Ludlow and convertibles don’t mix. Or do they? Blondie s one senior who likes Home Ec., especially doing the outlines. Good luck, Lora, and remember life is what you make it. LEONA Jt RKIEWICZ College Lee” Style is the dress of thought” Glee Club 1; Operetta 4; Latin Club t, 3, 4; Spotlight (dub 4; Christmas Tea Dance 3; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Freshman Reception 4; Hi! Schooler 3; Playnite 4; Monitor 4; Senior Sampler 4. Lee’s what they mean when they say, “Gentlemen prefer blondes.” She can often be heard loudly protesting that she is not five feet eleven but a mere five six. Besides being good-looking, she’s smart. I.ee even went to summer school near Boston for three weeks. Music was what she was supposed to have studied there. Are those Harvard men all they are said to be? We hear this gal tries her hand at bowling. Successfully, or otherwise? And tell us, Lee, why are you so determined to go to Cornell? r II E S A M P L E R 15 JOSEPH JIJHKOIC College “Joe” “Laughter is his joy” Hi! Schooler 3; Latin Club 2, 3. The laughing, wise-cracking, smiling senior is our Joe. He’s a happy-go- lucky guy and sometimes we wondered how he got by, but he made it. e ve often wondered about the girls in his life. Hut. as reports go, so this report must also go. He is Charlie's right hand man and, though Joe may always seem on the funny side, he has his serious thoughts and we wish all the luck to this smiling Romeo. LILLIAN Jl’RKOIC College “Lily” “ Of all the pebbles on the beach It's always her they try to reach Interclass Raskctball 1; (ilee Club I.‘2; Latin ( lul) It, 4; Spanish ( luh 3, I; Junior Prom 8; Senior Hop 2, 3; Senior Bazaar 2; Freshman Reception 4; Christmas Tea Dance 3; Thanksgiving Ball 3; Sophomore Night 2; Junior Night 3. Here’s the belle from North Walpole. She's gay, lively, ami her laughter makes you want to laugh too. She’s small but every inch of her is dynamite Ask the hoys! Especially Bostonians! She made a big hit there. By the way, what do you do when you go to Springfield? And who’s the sailor who keeps you so interested? You’ll make a cute, competent, airline hostess, and, with your looks and talent, well, all the success any girl could hope for. LUC ILLE KARPINSKI General “ Karpie Drinl: and be merry, for tomorrow you die” (ilee Club 1: Junior Prom 3; Freshman Reception 3; Sophomore Night 2; Junior Night 3; Hi! Schooler 3. Here’s the girl who walked off with the title of wittiest girl. She keeps up with her motto and is always merry, making everyone around her laugh and be merry too. You always know when Lucy's around. Singing and laughing are her cues. If you have never heard Lucy sing and play the piano, you've missed something. All in all, Lucy’s just one girl wrapped up in merriness, and with such a personality, you can just bet she has her share of men in life. How about it, Lucy? DONALD KELLEY College “Donnie Lore is constant in all things Band 2; Librarian 2, 3; Spanish Club 3; Hi! Schooler 1, 2, 3; Sophomore Night 2; Junior Prom 3. Donnie is sharp-boy! You should hear some of his brilliant remarks in English class. Is he a natural comedian or what? Some of his jokes almost killed us, but some of them were really good. Donnie’s a bright boy, especially in chemistry. When Lewie and Donnie get together in the lab. almost any- thing can happen. Ask them why the sink overflowed. When you become a doctor, make sure you know your HuO’s and TNT's. SHIRLEY KELLY General Shirl “There was a star that danced and under this I was born Sophomore Night 2; Junior Night 3; Junior Prom 3; Senior Bazaar 3; Christmas Tea Dance 3; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Hi! Schooler 2, 3. A charming personality, a big Irish smile, and loads of fun, that Shirl. We wonder how she finds time to do all that homework and still write all those air-mail letters, but it doesn’t seem to bother Shirley. And her dates, too! She must be busy. Hairdressing is her chosen held and we wish her all the luck in the world. 16 T II E S A M P I, E R HOLLON KELTON (ieneral “ Pete ' “ shall laugh tut self to death” Football 3, I; Monitor 1. Ah! Pete! He’s the boy with the lopsided grin and the devilish gleam in his eye.

Fenton is a good stage hand and he has helped out there so many times he should know- backstage like his back yard. He was also active in glee club and athletics. That was our Red. that went plunging through the lines in football season. And as for girls—well, we think he gets around in that field too.

Every time warnings come out we all run to Tut to see how we fared. You see, he carries the mail. He’s got a pretty steady record, too. Three years with the same girl. Tut’s always got a smile on his face and a dollar in his pocket to lend you. We’re going to miss that cheerful smile and snappy comeback, but undoubtedly our loss is someone’s gain.

We guess he’s just practicing for the time when he’ll be in the Navy and trying hard to keep up the old Naval custom of a girl in every port. Besides women, Bobby excels in sports.

THE CLASS WHICH GRADUATES IN 11)4« Thcrejarc quite n few’of us, you see; We’re always as happy as we can be. Of course we’ve had our lips ami downs; We have our Einsteins and our clowns. But all in all, we’re quite a happy grade A ml? what fun we’ve had, what friends we’ve made! 3n jfflentoriam Jfflarpret Jean Janies April fi, 1928 .July 24, 1945 TO PEGGY I dreamed a dream of a sky so blue Tlie breeze, the sun and lovely you Gaily wandering over meadows green, With laughing eyes, a face serene, Picking flowers by the way. Skipping along like a child in May, Joyful of the simple things at hand. Thankful for God’s gifts, few mortals understand. So full of fun, so happy and so gay. In this, just one more day of play. That you failed to see the frightened flying larks, Or notice the clouds turn from light to dark; Then when you did, you ran and ran until— The flowers fell, and all was still.

Maybe we should take out fire insurance to protect our lives from our (his name must remain a secret), arsonist, fiend and firebug. 480 of us almost perished in the blaze which swept the high school, blocking exits. Trapped on the upper floor we heroically fought the blaze which issued from the fiend’s desk. Tut Ixmg, hero of the occasion, battled his way through falling beams to spit upon the blaze, thus nearly putting it out. (Jerald Shaughnessy collapsed from the smoke and had to be carried out of school. Austin Brennan performed art- ificial respiration. Meanwhile the arsonist sang to Mrs. Lamp son, “I don’t want to set the world on fire. Her only comment was “You burn me up.” Shaughnessy proved worse off than we thought and lay there, piti- fully delirious, mumbling “Smoke (Jets in Your Eyes.” As the tragic fire, estimated at a loss of $5,000,000,000, diet! away, Helen Tefft was heard to say, “That’s my old flame. ANY SENIOR (URL Her walk is light, her talk is bold. But underneath beats a heart of gold. The Class of 10 Mi Will be remembered long As the class that always manages To do its homework wrong. T II E S A M P L E K CLASS WILL :n With all honor and due respect we gather here this day to hear witness to the last will and testament of Class of ‘Mi. It seems that the last book has been chucked in a waste basket, the last spitball has hit the blackboard and we are now convinced that our worthy Class of ‘46 should be laid quietly away at rest. Listen carefully, you heirs of the golden hordes. The Will of this Class (Cod rest its soul) is as follows: “We, the Class of’46, graduates of Bellows Falls High School, town of Rockingham, Windham County, Ver- mont, being of as sound a mind and as physically lit as any normal person could possibly be in our ragged con- dition, do hereby, by this, our last Will and Testament, make void any former manuscript which may have been conceived in a moment of utter delirium under any circumstances. Here follow the articles of our will: After some deliberation, we, the Seniors, have decided to will the irresponsible Juniors not only our humble abode in Room 11, but also Mr. Osborn as an added dividend. The desks are a little small. You can never find anything but torn up paper anyway. The lights are not so good and the closet doors never shut. But, you’ll get along. We did. To the Sophomores, the “inside” students of the younger generation, we leave our good manners, our appreciative qualities and our genuine co-operation. We do this, regretting that we, the Seniors, lost most of these qualities before we even got to be Sophomores. To our innocent under-classmen, the Freshmen, we will all the talent that this class has had. We mean this, in all sincerity, as talent of the stage and field, and not the talent for cribbing or scoring a near miss with an eraser. The football team is leaving, deeply disgusted, all the football jerseys to the teams of coming years. That is, all the jerseys that they couldn’t walk off with. In addition to these major bequests there are in- dividual gifts we wish to bestow. These are made in good humor and justification. Please accept them in the spirit with which they are given. Paul Auinand, captain of our basketball team, bequeaths to next year’s captain a diet of poached eggs, toast and a glass of fruit juice before every game, in the hope that he may be able to digest them more readily than he did. The triumvirate of Higgins, Hammond and Brennan leave Mr. McCarthy. We all hope Mr. McCarthy will recover soon. The peace and quiet seem to be doing wonders. Lewie Moore leaves his car along with a list of his parking places to anyone who is foolish enough to accept either. Bob Raymond presents Sam Mercurio with a com- plete list of available females in Springfield and Bennington. We're not sure Sam needs them, however. Mary Hauck bequeaths her schedule to any Junior girl adventuresome enough to compete against such hopeless odds. Barb Wentworth has a little book (’ailed “Ten Ways to Hold Your Man. She thinks Pat Story could use it. (ieorgette leaves, as silently as she entered. But my what goes on under that cloak of quietness! Vangie gives her post as Monitor to Je m Farr. We think Jean can withstand the shock: Vangie seems to be still walking. Ray Folsom leaves his silvery horn, a cigarette and a blonde to anyone who can put them together as well as he did Joe presents Buddy O’Connor with a smile, a snicker and a roar of laughter. He really will have them in the aisles, if he follows Joe’s footsteps. The boys in Aeronautics class also have a book. It’s for Mr. l)avis. The name of it is How to (iet In M re Than One Aeronautics Class A Week. We’d like Mr. Holland to accept a jewel-studded blackjack to control many of those unruly Junior Boys. Of course, a Senior should never step out of line. Claire Simonds officially wills her battered old Ford to Eddie Perkins. We often wonder whose car it is anyway. Kd Masten leaves about a foot of height to Bill Reed. Kerry also considers giving him about forty pounds. He’ll never miss it. Besides, with such donations, Billy will be quite a hunk of man to go with that fighting spirit. Marilyn Herrick has not yet decided whether she will accept a motor scooter or a pair of roller skates to chase up all the absentees. To Miss Brown go our hearty thanks for the deeper understanding of our Child Psychology. No wonder her room is a matter of immediate interest. Pete Kelton leaves his horde of corny jokes to Ocorgie Wylie. But for Heaven’s sake, (ieorge, keep them to yourself. Rita Reed is also leaving. But, as long as the Man with the Horn goes too, all’s well that end’s well. (ieorge Cote wishes to present some enterprising student with complete instructions, with detailed demonstrations, on how to keep three or four girls guessing. Jimmy Sullivan leaves a sprinkle of brilliance to Ed ('apron with the sincere hope that Ed can get away with as little studying and as good marks as he did. Florence Barnes bequeaths her wardrobe to the Signal Corps. A shortage of colored cloth you know. As a last article, the Senior Class is leaving the faculty. With wide smiles and a tear or two, the faculty sends us off then turns and wonders if the next class could be as bad as we were, which, after all is nearly impossible. But we wish them a short vacation and a happy one before the next shock comes. We do hereby sign and seal this, our legal Will and Testament this Wth day of June, year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Six. Melvin Damon SCHOOL DAYS Books, teachers, homework, classes. Weekends, puppy loves, forward passes, Report cards, cramming and rugged tests. Most of which we all have guessed! Dances, class songs, and Senior Hops, (dee Clubs, assemblies, plays and props, Cornroasts, picnics, trips, and dates. We all know the one that rates! Basketball, baseball, tennis, football.

Our days of High soon will be in the past. We’ll sadly smile as we greet the new class. Do you sometimes wish that you might not pass? Barbara Wentworth M T HE S A M P L E i 33 ( LASS PROPHEC Y A few nights ago I had a dream, a very odd hut fas- cinating dream. It seemed as though I were an angel, strange as it may seem, for I was here, there and everywhere. It was a lovely feeling to he present and yet have no one know I was there. I was in New ork, Paris, Africa, California,—why almost any place you could name. It was only a dream, kids, so lets hope that none of those happenings will ever come true, hut who knows? My dream was so amusing that I just can’t keep it to myself. So now I will relate the story to you. Make of it what you can. They always say that each dream has a hidden meaning and I have come to the conclusion that it is the prophecy for the class of 194« of the Bellows Falls High School. The first scene was in New York City on Broadway, in Doctor Cote’s operating room. About fifteen nurses were running in and out. Such a busy place! I just sank in a corner and stayed there. “More oxygen,” said Doctor Cote. “No, not so much oxygen. The scissors, please. Hurry! (live it a little more air. The knife, please.” Hurry, hurry, hurry. That’s the way it was. It was a very important operation on a chicken, to see if it could live without its gizzard. Doctor Cote was willing to try anything once. He was the same old (ieorge. While I was peacefully on my way to France, a steady humming noise came to my ears. I didn t know what it was, hut it was becoming louder, too loud for com- fort. I gazed hack over my shoulder, hut couldn’t see a thing. That steady hum was growing louder. All of a sudden,—Zoom!!! ami it was gone. I discovered later that Lewis Moore had taken to the air and it was he who had passed me in his buzz-bomb, named Lulu Mary, and not Mary Lou!! After reaching Paris, France, I was strolling down a busy street, when out strutted,—no. it couldn’t be,— why yes it was Miss Barbara Wentworth, although you would hardly have recognized her with that high hair-do and those huge gold earrings!! And what was that bringing up the rear? A bustle! Times certainly have changed. And I musn’t forget to tell you that Miss Wentworth is world famous for her hairdressing. She experiments on Miss Apostolos who was famous in her school days for her hair-dos. Now back to Coney Island where they were having a bathing beauty contest. Only this one was different. Men were the contestants instead of women. Things have changed. The judge read off the names one by one, “Robert Higgins, Donald Averill, Edward So- holeski and Jacob Rot list ein” . Of course, there were many other contestants .but these were the ones who were to be judged for first prize. “Legs are too thin,” “His left ear is lopsided,” “His little toe is crooked.” “Arms are too fat,” were some of the criticisms of the judges as they looked their men over. Finally a decision was made and none other than Jacob Rothstein took the first prize. Then I suddenly found myself in Africa, wandering through the jungles, looking for someone to spy upon. Finally Is spotted a tent in which was a tall, rather stocky man, seated with his legs crossed. He was dressed in a long robe and a turban was wound around his head. I looked closely now, for my curiosity was growing, and found to my surprise that it was Bobby Raymond, a snake charmer. In his earlier life he had charmed too many girls and had decided to find some- thing to charm that would not give him so much trouble. Now back to America, in Chicago, that great meat packing center, with (iurnsey Hammond as manager of a large Holstein farm, (iloria Tolaro seemed to be do- ing well as private secretary in Hammond’s office. As I passed by Bartonsville, I saw Fred Morse weed- ing his garden. He had decided it was cheaper to live at his mother-in-law’s and let his wife drive the milk truck And now back to Sacramento, California. I saw Shirley Moore, as head of a gum factory. I gu.vss she intended to have all the gum she wanted to chew when she does her typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. She certainly used to be a problem. Next I found myself in North Walpole, New Hamp- shire. Mary Baldasaro was going from door to door, ringing doorbells, selling Curtis Magazines. She never did quite think she earned that beautiful watch. As I strolled down Washington Street, Boston, I came to an office and on the door read,” Donald Kelley. Inc. and underneath was, “ Private Secretary, Rita Roberta Reed.” You see, there are so many Rita’s and so many Reed’s that she insisted upon having Roberta included in the name so there would be no mistake as to her identity. Suddenly I found myself back in New York where Paul Aumaml had taken Mr. Anthony’s place to advise men and women about their family troubles and love problems. In Northampton. Massachusetts, Patricia Torrey had founded her own secretarial school. She once remarked that (iregg shorthand never did make sense to her and she had now established the Speedy Torrey Shorthand Method. Later, I found myself in a night club on a dark street of Boston where I was welcomed with the greeting of “Singand sway, with a trumpet and Ray.” “ Frankie” Damon and “Dinah” MacKee made the program com- plete. This completes my dream. We can wait ami see what the future holds for us. Who knows? Butdon’t lose too much sleep over it. 5 T II E S A M V L E H 37 Jl'XIOK CLASS ACTIVITIES In tlie various school activities the class of ‘47 is well respresentecL To name just a few, we have our athletes, cheerleaders, actors, singers, musicians, journalists and monitors. In these departments they have been note- worthy. At the first class meeting to select our officers for 194(5, Aurel Bartley was elected president, but, due to his leaving school, his office was filled by our vice- president, (Jeorge Wylie. Margaret O’Brien assumed the task of keeping our account- while Jeanne Farr look over the duties of secretary. Those chosen as our representatives on the S. . B. were Edward ( apron. Elizabeth Grignon. Jeanne Farr and Lawrence O'Con- nor. Led by this fine group our class has accomplished much. A Sock Dance was held « n November 19 by Boom W, at which students and teachers alike deposited their shoes before entering the gym. This novelty was a tremendous success. Another Friday night dance, featuring a jitterbug contest and music by Carl (iarrett, was sponsored by Room IS on December 7. This also proved successful. The night of December 18 was the scene of the annual Christmas Tea Dance, with a large group in attendance. Couples danced in the dec- orated halls and after a program in the auditorium they gathered around the brilliantly lighted Christmas tree to sing Christmas Carols. Phis climax of the evening will long be remembered. On May 8, the annual Junior From was held. With the work and effort which went into this affair it was an outstanding event. The Mexi- can motif carried out in the decorations was very effec- tive. The juniors’ talents were displayed to advantage when, on Playnite, our play, “The Wedding.’’took first prize. This cast traveled to Springfield High and Nor- wich where they gave fine performances, bringing credit to the school. Fine salesmanship was shown by our class in the recent Curtis Drive when Joseph Joy and Arnold Fisher captured second and third prizes, re- spectively. On the gridiron George Holton, Kenneth Currier. George Wylie, Ernest Blanchard, Stanley Karpinski and Francis Dion exhibited great ability, while both George Holton and Kenneth Currier did a fine job on the basketball team. In the girls sports, Patricia Story displayed her skill on the basketball court. Next year, with these capable athletes, our sports department should give us some fast action. The six cheerleaders, all juniors, did a grand job and helped cheer our teams on with great enthusiasm. With these talented people, our class will efficiently carry out the duties of seniors. CLASS OF 1948 The (’lass of ‘48 shows signs of becoming a very active Junior Class next year. Led by the following fine group of officers, this class had a very successful year: President Lawrence Williams Vice-President Daniel Crowley Secretary Winifred Jennison Treasurer— Mary Helen McGinnis Joan Hennessey and Joseph Jurkoic were the re- presentatives on the S A. B. It- members are in the Band, Orchestra. Latin Club, Hi! Schooler. Spotlight and Glee Clubs, to name just a few. Lawrence Williams as the Sophomore Editor did a grand job on Hi! Schooler. In the athletic field the sophomores showed ability which will make them future stars. Next vears' girls’ varsity team will star many sophomore players. In both football and basketball there were representatives of the (’lass of ’18. With this repre- sentation in school activities, the sophomores have proven their enthusiasm and straight forwardness, which go into the making of good class spirit. ( LASS OF 1949 Although the ('lass of 19 is a bit young, it got off to a good start this year. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President Donald Brown Vice-President Nelson Buskey Secretary Shirley Gray Treasurer William Heed Representatives on theS. A. B. were Marjorie Merri- field and Donald Brown. On Playnite Terry Belville took top honors giving a fine performance and showing himself a splendid actor. The freshmen proved their sportsmanship in both basketball and football. Their journalistic ability was shown on Hi! Schooler. During t he year many class meetings were held. The co-opera- tion and the businesslike manner in which the fresh- men have carried on this year is just the foundation on which a strong class will be built during the next three years. THE Jl’NIOR HIGH The Junior High has changed from a group of students about to enter the Senior High to an active, energetic student body itself, having its own assemblies, meetings and activities. Even in student government the Junior High has a part, with Ann Hawks, Ia is Frei- hofer. Evelyn Chisamore and James Whitcomb as the representatives on the S.A.B. On the stage this group gained praise by presenting an assembly, a very beauti- ful Christmas play,“Childe Jesus.”for the entire student body and later for the public. This, the first assembly put on by the Junior Hig’i, was very well presented. This year several members from the band and orchestra gave programs for various town organizations. In the athletic department both girls and boys participated, the girls in field lux-key.while the boys went in for baseball and bas- ketball. The latter team played in this year’s Junior High Tournament and.though they lost.the good sports- manship and experience they received will be valuable to them in later life. They have their own cheerleaders and majorettes. With this fine list of activities on this year’s program, the Junior High is a great credit and pride to the school. They have good experience and training for entering the Freshman class. I can’t begin to tell you How much school means to me. My world will end If ever 1 get through. I can’t begin to tell you. How happy I would be If I could learn the things that others do.

A. H. functioned again this year and proved itself a permanent fixture in student government. The members this year are: Harold Bartlett chairman; Mary Hauck, vice-president; Evangeline Sencabaugh, secretary; Reuben Miller. Melvin Damon and Richard Eong; Juniors; Edward Capron, Elizabeth Grignon, Lawrence O’Connor and Jeanne Farr; Sophomores: Joan Hennessey and Joseph Jurkoic; Freshmen: Mar- jorie Merrifield and Donald Brown; Eighth Grade: Evelyn Chisamore and JamesW’hitcombjSeventhGrade: Lois Freihofer and Ann Hawks. A group from the S. A. B. including Harold Bartlett, Mary Hauck and Evan- geline Sencabaugh worked as a sub-committee with the recreation committee of the Community Improve- ment Association. At the beginning of the year com- mittees for publicity, attitude, assemblies, competition ami A. A. were appointed by the chairman. MONITOR SYSTEM This year the other important factor in student gov- ernment. a smoother traffic system, headed by Melvin Damon, Captain, with Harold Bartlett and Evangeline Sencabaugh as Lieutenants, continued to function. At the first regular bi-monthly meeting held on November 5, Helen Hitchcock was elected secretary to keep a record of monitor meetings and warnings. An easier warning system was also instituted. On November 29, an assembly was held which put before the student body the rules and regulations of the monitor system. This assembly proved its success in the manner in which the students conducted themselves following it. The following monitors were selected for the year: M. Damon, H. Bartlett, E. Sencabaugh, I). Averill, M. Baldasaro, L. Jurkiewicz, H. Kelton, J. Curtis, G. Tous- saint, A. Noyes, M. Hauck, L. O’Connor, V. Russell, I . Aumand, M. Parris, A. Parker, R. Reed, S. Gordon, H. Hitchcock, E.

He should be congratulated and we certainly wish we had heard him. Ernie took third place, winning a medal for his fine oration. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club began the year in the usual manner, with the election of officers: President—Richard Stickney Vice-President—Mary Hauck Secretary—Marcia Osher Treasurer— M a rt ha I la uck Chairman of Executive Board—Elizabeth Grignon Faculty Advisor—Miss Wilcox The big event for the Latin Club is the Roman Ban- quet which was in April this year. This was made still more interesting by several changes. As the guests arrived they were confronted by a dog chuined to the door; then the Major Domo greeted the guests and in- structed them to cross the threshold with their right foot. Perhaps the surprise of the evening came when Mr. Ashland and Mr. Holland had their heads anointed and were crowned with wreaths. Latin games, read- ings and songs enliven the club meetings. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club, under Mr. Osborn’s direction, was organized by the members of the Spanish classes for entertainment and cultural purposes. At the first meeting the elections were held with the following results: President—Elizabeth Grignon Vice-President—Patricia Story Secretary—Jeanne Farr Treasurer—Ann West With their help the club will study the life, habits and customs of Spanish-speaking countries. This year students have received addresses of other students in Spain and South American countries. The correspond- ence which they carry on is interesting and entertaining, as well as instructive. These letters make for broader activity and learning through discussion of their contents. HOME EC CLUB The Home Ec Club was instituted last spring and it got into full swing this year with: President—Mary Barber Vice-President—Wilma Henderson Secretary— Marie Toussaint Treasurer—Mary Walsh The faculty advisors are Miss Hale and Miss Kyle. The purpose of the meetings, held Wednesday evenings, is to encourage the girls in good grooming, to take the best advantage of what they have and to do a little housekeeping. Members of the club also attend district meetings. The girls who belong to the club feel they are benefiting greatly by it and they are certainly learn- ing practical things of which they will always be able to make use. LIBRARIANS What a state the library would be in, if we did not have the librarians! These young women see to it that the portion of study hall devoted to things literary is kept in perfect condition and is well maintained. The library is efficiently run along the lines of a regular library, with special committees for care of cards, filing, repairing books and countless other jobs, all under Miss Branon s direction. A senior is chosen as head librarian with a junior as assistant. This year Thelma Routhier has two assistants, Elizabeth Grignon and Verlie [ fford. Regular meetings are held on Monday afternoons to make certain that everything is ship- shape. T HE S A M I’ 1. E R 41 STt’DENT ADVISORY ROAR!) MONITORS T II E S A M P L E ft III!

Hut the last great show they presented was the three-act play, “The Doctor Has A Daughter. It was an unforgettable play, presented with outstanding dramatic ability and stage presence. The daughter was played by Mary Hauck, the doctor by Kerry Rothstein. The others of the cast were: Mary Shore, Pauline Perrier, Harriet Perkins. Donald Kelley, Austin Brennan, Robert Higgins. Thelma Routhier, Louise Apostolos. Leona Jurkiewicz and Vincent Russell. Harold Bartlett, Edward Masten, William Morey and Kenton Lawlor were the boys who did such a swell job on scenery. The many girls who slapped a paint brush around deserve credit, too, for the fine appearance of the scenery. Mrs. Hosking did her usual splendid job as business manager, ably assisted by Lillian Jurkoic. The properties were handled by (ieorgette LeBlanc and Mary Evelyn Parris. Above all. Miss Brown should be congratulated for another splendid and successful Senior Class play. PLAYNITE On Playnite, Friday, October If), the Senior High School students presented “Little Jackie Horner, “A Wedding” and “The Old La ly Shows Her Medals. ’ “Little Jackie Horner , by John Hershey, had a freshman and sophomore cast, with the following char- acters: Jackie Horner Terry Belville; (lertie— Pris- cilla MacDcrmott; Mrs. Horner Mary Fitzgerald; Carol Horner Mary McGinncss; Nanette Schultz J. Fairbrother; Ted Roberts Phillip Bousquet. The scene was the Horner living room on Thanksgiving Day. The Junior and Senior Classes presented two plays: “A Wedding and “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals. “A Wedding’’ had as a cast: The Bridegroom-- Law- rence O’Connor; Best Man Lewis Moore; An I slier Paul Routhier; The Bride Deborah Hanson; Bride- groom's Mother—Clara Lisai; Bride's Father Melvin Damon; Bride's Aunt Mary Shore. The setting was in a country house on a June Evening. In the cast of “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals’ were several old- time actors. The cast: Mrs. Dowey Mary Hauck; Mrs. Tymblev Bernadette Hayes; Mrs. Mickleham— Marcia Osher; Mrs. Haggerty Florence Barnes; Mr. Willings Donald Averill; Kenneth Dowey George Wylie. The stage was set for Mrs. Dowey basement apartment in London during World War I. The judges, Mrs. Michael Powers, Mrs.Duane Aldrich and K. Stanford Blake rightly awarded prizes to Mary Hauck and Terry Belville for the best performances of the evening. “The Wedding was chosen as the best play and it was again presented at the State Contest at Norwich University. Miss Brown, assisted by Miss Kyle, directed the plays and she did a more than creditable job. Mrs. Hosking also deserves a vote of thanks for the great work she did as business manager. THE STATE CONTEST PLAY At the state one-act play contest. Bellows Falls pre- sented “A Wedding , the winning performance of Play- nite. The cast, headed by Lawrence O’Connor as the bridegroom, included Deborah Hanson, Mary Shore, Melvin Damon, Lewis Moore, lara Lisai and Paul Routhier. Kerry Rothstein as stage manager and Helen Tefft as property manager did very good work. After winning the (irsl awar.i on Playnite. I he east traveled to Springfield on March 2H. Another great night for the cast. Bellows Falls came in second. On April l!J the cast went on tour again, this time to Norwich. As a result of the splendid coaching of Miss Brown, assisted by Miss Kvle, Bellows Falls was selected to enter the state finals. Six schools were represented in this contest and the competition was keen. The cast did its best, but to no avail. 'I'lie two awards went to Springfield and Spauld- ing respectively. Although we didn't place as one of the winners, the experience gained was well worth the time and effort spent. All who made the trip had a wonderful time. OPERETTA The Mixer! Glee Club of the Bellows Falls High School presented an operetta entitled “An Old Kentucky Garden , starring Patricia Lake as Jeannie, Sam Mercurio as Richard. Lawrence O’Connor as Colonel Stanton and Thelma Routhier as the old “diff widow. The leading chorus included Lewis Mo re, Deborah Hanson, Richard Peck, Kerry Rothstein, Fenton Lawlor, Patricia Story, Reuben Miller, Melvin Damon, Vincent Russell, Eleanor MacKee, Philip Bou— quet, Bernadette Hayes. Paul Routhier, Donald Averill, Richard Moulton, Donald Brown, Joseph Stockwell and Carroll Young. These people were ably assisted by a chorus of Guests and Plantation Singers. The very colorful scenery, girls in bright gay hoopskirts and darkies were the background for the unravelling of the story. Miss Bedell ami Miss Brown deserve a great deal of credit for the swell job they did. The Glee Club members who participated are to be congratulated on their excellent performance. Mrs. Hosking served in her usual capacity of business manager and did her usual excellent job. ASSEM dLIES The assemblies started off on the right foot this year with Mr. Holland at the wheel, on September L 1t)4. Mr. Holland greeted the oldtimers, welcomed the new- comers and explained the routine to them. The A. A. drive started in full swing w.th an assembly in which we heard from Harold Bartlett and Melvin Damon, candidates for the presidency of the A. A. Mr. Schneider and Mrs. Jones, our coaches, urged the students to give the teams full support by getting be- hind the drive 100ry. Mr. Holland read the financial report of last year. Our lungs were tested for the Hirst time in the pep assembly on November 2. This put the student body in the mood for the football game with our old rival. Springfield. Mr. Cotton Mitcheon, our first guest speaker of the year, is a member of the English Embassy. He ex- plained the differences between the English and Ameri- can children. At the end of an interesting and en- lightening talk, Mr. Mitcheon was asked questions by some of the students. Our next assembly was a novelty. The monitors showed mistakes made in the mnnit r system by the students, teachers and tin monitors themselves, (in a very entertaining skit). The “ Horror Chamber explained the results of warnings received by the students. A diversion was offered by two of the mon- itors, (in the form of a piano duet.. On December 14. the unior High presented a one-act play, Christ Is Born. It showed the customs ob- served in Yugoslavia at Christmas time. Much talent T Ii E S A M I� L E R .54 was brought to light in this assembly which was the first ever put on by this group for the entire student body. This play helped put us in the Christmas spirit just before our vacation. Mr. Scanlon came from Rhode Island to tell us about reptiles, especially snakes. He surprised us more than a little by producing l cslie, his pet snake. Mr. Scan- lon’s only regret was that he hadn't brought along his little daughter so that she could hold Leslie while he ex- plained the snake s anatomy. This was an entertain- ing assembly as well as an instructive one. The I wenty-fifth of March brought Mr. Cheney of the Curtis Publishing Company to our school. The pur- pose of his visit was to help the A. A. launch a campaign to sell magazines so that funds might be raised for an electric score board for the gym. Mr. Cheney explain- ed the division of teams with a captain for each. A. A. officers, Harold Rartlett, Paul Auniand and Patricia Story also had a hand in the assembly. On April 43, we were given the results of the Curtis Campaign. Mr. Holland made the awards to the four who sold the most subscriptions. The main purpose of the assembly, however, was a movie presented by Mr. Crosby of Springfield, Massachusetts. After seeing “The Land of the Maharajas”, with all the wealth and sparkle, many were all but ready to move to India. DANCES On November 4. the Sophomores presented their tea dance. Everyone had a good time dancing in the halls. Instead of tea, of course, coke was served. On November ! , the Junior Home-Room 14 put on a Sock Dance which was the latest thing. The kids all came in socks but the teachers really stopped the show when they came in in their brightly colored socks. The coke was just what everyone wanted after all the fun they had. On November l(i, the annual Thanksgiving Rail was held in the Gym. Paul Ruse and his orchestra supplied the music. Tuxedos and bow ties were really in style that night. There were a good many representatives from out of town who came to enjoy themselves and they sure did. On December 7, good old B. F. was rocking with music as the Room 13 division of the Junior Class put on a dance which featured a jam session. Everyone tried their best to out-jitterbug the other. You can im- agine the fun. December 13 witnessed a dance held in good keeping with the Christmas Holidays. Dancing was in the halls and a fine Christmas program was presented in the auditorium. The climax of the evening came when everyone gathered around the brilliantly lighted Christ- mas tree and, with Miss Bedell at the piano, sang Christmas Carols. During the year a Pep Rally Dance was held to cheer the boys on to victory. There was dancing, refresh- ments and a lot of cheering. After this dance everyone really got in stride and followed the boys to victory. The Freshman Reception was held in the gym. At first, of course, the Freshmen were bashful, but, as the evening progressed, they began to be more in evidence. 'I’he Freshmen were asked questions. If they couldn’t answer them, they were made to pay a forfeit. Every- one. especially the Freshmen, enjoyed the dance. I lie annual Junior Prom was held on May 3 in the high school gymnasium. You wouldn’t have recogn- ized the gym. It was decorated in the newest and best idea yet conceived. The dance was held in a truly Mexican style and even the Mexicans would have been proud of tlie fascinating drawings and sidewalk cafe. Dick Perry and his orchestra provided the excellent music, riie Juniors are to be complimented on their wonderful decorations and drawings. This was a great success and everyone had a wonderful time. BAND If you are in the building any Thursday afternoon, you re sure to hear the band rehearsing under Mr. Bush’s supervision. And a very good band it is, too. This year it was divided into three parts, A. B and the (’ being made up of George Street students. The emphasis was not on quantity but rather on the quality of the music. In this respect the band has progressed by leaps and bounds. The football and basketball games, as well as several parades, were enlivened by its music. Four members attended the All-State Music Festival: Mary Parris, Carl Garrett. Joan Hennessey, and Edward Kenney. ORCHESTRA This year has proved to be the most successful in many years for the Orchestra. Several new instru- ments, such as cellos and basses, were added and they were all welcome additions. It has played for as- semblies, the Senior Play and Plavnite. It also gave a benefit concert for the Red Cross. The high light of this year was the second annual Evening of Music given by the orchestra together with the other high school music organizations. Five members had the privilege of attending the Ver- mont Music Festival in Burlington. Ruth McBride. Lawrence Williams, Paul Houthier and Robert Shaw attended as violinists and Albert Rowell as Hutist. These students not only had the opportunity to gain new knowledge of music but also the thrill of playing with 130 other people. GLEE CLUB Interest in the (ilee Club reached a peak this year in the many varied activities of its members. The Mon- day-night and ninth-period practice, under Miss Bedell’s supervision, did much towards promoting this interest. The (ilee Club made its first appearance in a Christmas Cantata which was greatly enjoyed by the public. During this same season a group of singers •sang carols at the Woman’s Club. The major endeavor of the club. “Ill an Old Kentucky Garden”, an operetta based on Stephen Foster’s music, brought to light much vocal talent which up to then had remained unknown. Members of the cast presented excerpts from the operetta at the United Church. On May 7. an all- music program was offered in which the (ilee Club took part and offered some selections which were a part of the All-State Music Festival program. Twelve students went to this festival: Patricia Lake, Gordon loussaint. Irene Robbins, Lawrence O’Connor, Eleanor MacKee, Richard Peck, la wis Moore, Sam Mercurio, Dorothy Trombley, Barbara Wentworth. Melvin Damon ami Reuben Miller. T II E S A M P L E 11 55 BAND ORCHESTRA 58 T II E S A M P L E R A. A. OFFICERS FOOTBALL The Bellows Falls team started its football season with a new coach, Arthur Schneider, who did a very creditable job. There were only four players who had any experience on last year’s State Champion foot- ball team; they are Mel Damon, Paulie Aumand, Stub ( ote and Moose Masten. However, Coach Schneider soon whipped together a strong and powerful football eleven with capable material such as Raymond. Lawlor, Morse, Grout, Brennan. Kelton, Holton, Karpinski and Wylie. Again the Purple and White started its season off against the powerful Alumni team, and once again the B. F. aggregation came out with a 7-(5 victory over the former stars of the Bellows Falls High School. It would be hard to give all the thrills that go with the game of football but here are a few of the highlights of the season. A big, fast and rugged Mount Saint Joseph team traveled to Bellows Falls, fighting for a chance to knock off the former champs. They were picked to de- feat Bellows Falls and to go through the season un- beaten. That Saturday afternoon Mount Saint Joseph got the surprise of its life when the inspired B. F. eleven marched out on the field to tackle and block with such vigor that it set the M. S. J.’s team back on its heels. They never fully recovered. “Big John Hammond with his (50 yard punts and his power plays teamed up with his left halfback, Freddie Morse, who showed his speed and swiftness to the favored Mounties. The game ended in a tie but was a moral victory for B. F. The next exciting game was when Bellows Falls traveled to Keene to meet the Orange and Black, who in the previous year had beaten the State Champions of Vermont, namely Bellows Falls. With this on their minds and the fighting spirit and smoothness I hat Coach Schneider had driven into his boys, the Bellows Falls eleven passed, punted ami plowed through a strong Keene team to defeat them 20-14. This game saw the B. F. Imckficld and line work together with excellent precision. Mel Damon not only did a wonderful job running his team as quarterback but did some of the best blocking seen in the State. Sampson Grout also opened up with his speed to help set up two touchdowns. The next and last thrill of the season came when Bellows Falls traveled to Springfield to try and push over our annual rival. This proved to be the best game of the season as they both were out for a war, especially Springfield which had been defeated last year by a run-wild score of 75-0. The game started off with a bang with both teams hitting hard and both lines charging hard. Our ends Hddie Masten and Bob Ray- mond really showed some of the best pass receiving that any team in the State could brag about. The breaks seemed to be against the B. F. lads; with a few minutes to go, as a pass from Morse to Masten, who caught it beautifully and went over for a touchdown, was called back as the receiver had stepped out of bounds. The game ended with Springfield the victor over their annual rivals by an 18-12 s ore. We wish to thank Coach Art Schneider and his boys for their good record and especially the fighting spirit and sportsmanship which is worth more than any win Schedule Bellows Falls 7 Alumni (( Bellows Falls 45 Windsor 0 Bellows Falls 14 Brattlcboro 0 Bellows Falls 21 Bennington 0 Bellows Falls 14 Mt.

We had a team. Now that everything is over, the last cheers and encouragement have died into the echoes of the gymnasium, we can say, “We Had A Team.” It was not just five individual stars, not five glory seek- ing competitors, but a group of hoys that fought up- ward to the last gun and gave every hit of their being to the success of their team-mates. It all began that first day when Coach Schneider issued the call for basketball candidates. We had no pre-season veterans hut were determined by sweat and hard work to make ourselves a team. Several weeks passed in drill, foot work,shooting baskets, dribble,pivot, more drill, more footwork. Slowly the members of our squad began taking on a little confidence, a little instinct,- maybe we could have a team. The first game rolled around. Our first game was passed. We made mistakes, lots of them. More fundamentals, more perfection training. As the season went on, we be- gan to grow, a little at a time. We lost a couple to Springfield and Rutland. They led the league. All of us must have secretly vowed that the day would come when we’d meet them again, maybe under different cir- cumstances. More games, more mistakes. But we were progressing. The rough edges were being worn off. The timing was better. Maybe we could get in the Southern Vermont Tournament. We would try Mid-season came around. We were doing well. Another loss to Springfield. We’ll see you vet. By now, deep in the hearts of all of us was a yearning desire that called us to Rutland for the tournament. Maybe that gave us a little extra shove, a little extra fight and guts that make winning teams. We were fighting and winning. Everyone knows the rest. We came down the home stretch, beating Rutland, Windsor and Brattleboro. We were tournament bound. It was Friday night at the Rutland Armory. On the floor were two teams, Rutland and the Purple Raiders of Bellows Falls. Would we? Could we? Anyone who saw that game will never forget, or ever doubt, that Bellows Falls had a team this year. It was like a well oiled machine, every gear turned perfectly. This was the climax, the goal of our weeks of sweat, work ami fight. We won by the grit and confidence of a team that had the will to win. The next night we faced Springfield in the final game. Onward, upward we fought, but to no avail. We met our match that night and bowed in defeat. But no one of those loyal Bel- lows Falls rooters will ever forget the never-say-die spirit, the fight and superb sportsmanship of our team. It truly was a team. To that team are many memories. Ones, perhaps, that few knew, but those boys never want to let them pass by. Did you ever hear of our famous “poached eggs , served with a tumbler of grapefruit juice. Or the story behind “The Monk,” our tournament good- luck charm? Brandon Inn familiar?? The bus rides, those songs, the jokes, going on to tournament floor, the thrill-inspired victory, great in defeat? You’ll never forget it, fellows. Hardwork, friendship, fighting for one another, joy and sorrow,-all in one season. We had some swell boys and great atheletes when the final word is said. Our captain, Paul Auinand, dead- eye, quick-thinking center of our team. His assured- ness brought us through many tough spots. At the forward posts were Gurnsey Hammond and Bob Hig- gins. There's a pair for you. Off the back board, like grease lightning. Point getters, fight and guts. Back in the guard posts were Ed Masten, a scrapper, good guard and good shot, and little Mel Damon, his com- panion of the back court. The team was assisted by a bench of able substitutes including, Pug Holton, Ken Currier, Billy Reed, Fred Shaughnessy and Ed Per- kins. Those boys were the making or breaking of the team. Yes, a team of boys who tried hard and met with success.

'Phis team began its season with only two experienced players, Eleanor MacKee and Yangie Sencabaugh, who served as co-captains, but with the excellent coaching of Mrs. Jones and much hard work on the part of the girls, they chalked up a very creditable record. Vangie Sencabaugh showed her abilities as both a guard and a forward. Eleanor MacKee and Leah Knapp were exceptional in the scoring department. Barb Slattery. Margaret Walsh and Arlene Parker set up a fine defense from their guard positions. Barb Wentworth and Jean Page filled their positions as man- ager and assistant manager very well. Coach Jones has fine prospects for next year with players from her Jay Yee team. She did a superb job coaching her girls this year and deserves congratula- tions! 60 T II E S A M V L 10 R Bellows Falls Schedu’e 18 Alumni 14 Bellows Falls 15 Black River 9 Bellows Falls 18 Lebanon 81 Bellows Falls 41 1 lartford 85 Bellows Falls 1� Keene 4 Bellows Falls 84 Chester 48 Bellows Falls 44 Windsor 14 Bellows Falls 84 Leland and Grav 45 Bellows Falls Hi Hartford 88 Bellows Falls 47 Springfield 15 Bellows Falls 45 Keene 11 Bellows Falls 48 Windsor 14 Bellows Falls 8« Leland and Grav 41 Bellows Falls 81 Black River 14 GIRLS’ INTERCLASS BASKETBALL During several days of March I lie gym was the scene of the girls interclass and inter-room basket hull games. In the final inter-room game, the girls from Room 11 defeated the Room 45 girls hv a narrow margin. On the previous day the lassies from Room 45 had defeated the Hosking-girls and they were headed for room championship until the “six from eleven’ stepped in and took over. In the championship game for the class title, the Sophomores and the Seniors both put up quite a struggle. The Sophomores proved themselves to be the better team and took the title for their class. Mrs. Jones refereed the games and at times she had some hard decisions on her hands. These interclass games help to strengthen the girls’ love for sports. It also gives the girls who aren’t able to play Varsity Basket- ball a chance to participate in the sport. CHEERLEADERS “Purple and white, purple and white, How they fight, how they fight. Rah B. F., Rah B. F„ Rah B. F„ Rah!” Ibis is the type of cheering we have heard all year round at our various football and basketball games. The cheers that sped our teams on to numerous victories. The cheerleading squad of Bellows Falls High School is a club that is strictly interested in the ath- letics of the school. The successes and failures of these clubs depend a lot upon the cheerleaders, because of Hie moral support which they give. The junior squad members for the past year were: Pauline Sileski, Ann Houlihan, Leona Grignon, Mary Ann Barber, Beatrice Tidd and Beverly Fontaine. The senior squad members for the past year were: Ann (Jay, Jean Page. Patricia Story, June Abbott, Elaine Morse, and Deborah Hanson. 40 OKI Terrace Street Bellows Falls, Vermont May 8, 194(i I ncle Sam White House I’nited States of America Dear Sam: In answer to your greeting card I received in yester- day’s mail, I submit my qualifications for the position of Buck Private in the army.

Then gazed across the field of corn below. While a cool west breeze whispered through the tops of the trees. And slightly moved the bright colored leaves. Soon, I glanced at the ground And thought. “Surely I must be wrong. There is Someone who made that cornfield grow and the west breeze blow, Who lets it rain and makes it snow. Who sees to it that the sun shines and the moon glows.” I gazed around and swore I heard the angel voices sound— But it was only the church bells chiming softly through the quiet night. And a full moon glowed so bright behind that steepled mass. And the more I gazed the more I knew that I was going home at last. Slowly I turned about, and over the well-worn path I trod When an angel voice within me whispered soft ami low. “There is a God. Mary Baldasaro THE CON NEC'TIC PT There’s a long and mighty river That in flowing toward the sea. Buns by many fields and mountains That are very dear to me. Not an inkling of its history In the days and years now gone Do I gather from its waters As it flows serenely on. Many an Indian brave has passed here Midst the sunlit autumn haze, Man y a scout from France or England Paddled up its wooded ways. Now I sit and dream beside it. Watch the currents near the shore— And I hope that many a spring time Finds me on its banks once more. Marilyn Brown THE Till NDKRSTORM A little boy said to me one dav, “ How does a thunder storm come, I pray. From over the hills and far away?” And this to him is all I could say: “Roaring and rumbling. Spitting and stumbling. Crashing and banging. Darkening and sharpening. Wild and majestic. Glorious and hectic. It bears down upon us From over the hills ami far away.” Anna Noyes THE SlbHOCETTE AGAINST THE SKY 1 here was a silhouette against the sky— A dark, dark sky. I'he silhouette was then but hope So very far away. I'he silhouette remained against the sky And many many endless years went by. I'he hope grew stronger with the light M hile many soldiers died in fight. But now the silhouette Comes closer yet. P’s closer now—it’s here! Forget your fear! bet the people sing! Through all the land the people shout The joy of hope complete is all about! Now that war will cease bet there be eternal peace Open wide the door For peace forever more. Peace for those who live Peace for those who died. That those who died to gain Shall not have died in vain. For the silhouette against the sky.

The happy voices of boys and girls were heard: They sounded like a hundred joyful birds. Everyone was dressed to kill— Don, Joe, Mary and Bill— And if you asked anyone, they would say Don't you know it’s graduation day? Krkky Rothstkin POETS Now here I sit in Room 11 Trying to compose a poem. Just like Wordsworth s “We Are Seven. But you don’t know what a poet goes through. ’Cause when he’s finished his face is blue. If you will look in our English book. You will find— Hardly a poet in his right mind. Sylvia Gordon A MORAL In the lab a tale is told Not very funny Of a boy who was quite bold. He mixed some potassium and 1120 Which is explosive Ami produced an outcome just so. The moral of it all is— And heed this— Don’t fool with lab apparatus. Kkrry Rothstkin LIFE Youth, careless, laughing with the rain. Flushed, defiant, music wild and strange. Life ripens swiftly after it has once begun Eager to spend its all, and then be done.

Rri uek Millkk COMING OF SPRING At last the spring will soon be here; Signs of its coming already appear. The ice is breaking in the pond: The snow is melting on the lawn. The trees acquire buds of green; Signs of spring everywhere can be seen. Birds start building their new homes. In trees, bushes ami even church domes. You, O Spring, are most sublime. For who wouldn’t rather have you than Wintertime? Pat Torry Wordsworth, in his “Tables Turned’’ Tells studies and b � oks to skat; But honestly, can you ever imagine Telling a teacher that! I once called a strange girl honey But her disposition wasn’t too sunny. For I got a slap in the face. That put me in my place. Now answer me—Isn’t that funny? OCR SCHOOL It's big, and brawny, and tall. It has rooms and countless halls. In it it’s hot and sometimes cool But we love it, ’cause it’s “Our School.” There’s the shop, the lab, and the room Where you’re liable to hear quite a boom. For the fingers pound fast on those keys As the kids type their A-B-C’s. Then you’re tripping down the hall “Slow Down!” the Monitors call. Ami if you don’t obey!!! It’s “taps” for you that day. Zoom! Something flashes by! That’s quicker than the eye. You’ve guessed it, it’s a one-man race. That “Cafeteria—itis’’ is a bad case. Hark! soft music descends on the ear. It comes from afar, yet so near. Our Glee Club produces quite a lot Of melodies both soft and hot. Yes, long after we’ve left them behind To find work of a different kind. When we type, dig ditches, or just fool We’ll all remember our School. Irknk Bobbins My heart is like a fountain. Full and bubbling to the top; My love is like a mountain And never will it stop. The fountain will someday overflow With clear little pools of love, When you. my dearest, will have to go To that beautiful land above.

Gcrnsky Hammon i MARY LOr You’re a fickle little creature And don’t seem to give a wham Whether you go out with me Or with (ieorgie or with Sam. You Hirt with all the boys As anyone can see. You’d just as soon go out with them As have a date with me. When I take you to the movies And Van Johnson’s on the screen You faint and sigh and swoon so much I just feel small and mean. When sailor boys come home on leave And make a date with you, I stay at home and feel so sad. So miserable and blue. But oh, what you don’t do to me When I kiss you on the cheek: I wish you’d let me every day Or even once a week. And then I’d feel so happy. So good an’ big an’ fine. An’ I’d just smile to boys and say “See her, fellows. She’s mine!” Lewie Moork AND I WAS SO QUIET Did you ever come home A little late at night And feel for the keyhole and Search for the light? Stumble over a chair That was planked in the way? (The children had used it to Play with that day.) Then stop, look, and listen To sec if you’ve been heard? So far, so good,you don’t Say a word. You take one step; everything’s black. Then all of a sudden, you step on the cat. “Good gosh, you say, “now I’ve done it; That cat was in the way, and I stepped upon it.” But no. I look around. And what do I see? The house is empty All but for me. (i uRN8EY H . MMON D MY TRUE LOVE She said she was my sweetheart. She said her love was true.

So I met (ieorgie after school And boy, we had a fight! But when he had my eyes blacked up His nose was quite a sight. That night when we were bosom friends Our girls we went to see. Suzie looked at him and sighed And Mary smiled at me. Now me and Mary are back again And so are (ieorge and Sue; But never believe your girl friend When she says her love is true. ’Cause she likes sodas and lolly pops And now I knoic I'm right That girls are always trouble And they always cause a fight. Lewis Moorf. DECEPTION Twas down by the lazy river That I thought I fell in love with ’er But to my delight I found out that night. It was just a pain in my liver. ( i rnsky Hammond When the closing report is read And everything else is said, 81 rise as one; Another day is done. Why study what’s the use? When you’re done you don’t know any more Think of your poor brain—such abuse! When there’s nothing to study for. Over the river and through the woods To BFHS we go. The bus knows the way To carry for pay All the students who live far away. If you say, “I took a bus,” That statement isn’t true, For if you stop to think, you’ll see The bus really took you.

All we can do is cry now Cry for moments lost For things we could have done. But all we thought of Was having fun. Mary Hatch He calls me every night He dates me every week He lets me wear his ring.

JCST A L ITT LB CHANGE There is a motto on our school “Kilter to learn, go forth to serve” But as one fool to another fool “Enter to serve, go forth to learn.” In a 100-yard dash The men run fast. In a relay race They set a fast pace. But in the Cafateria Run They really give her the gun. THE DAY DREAMER Sitting there just gazing Into the lively out-of-doors Is the day dreamer in a class room Wishing he could go out and explore. Just dreaming of little things Like fishing and fooling around Or walking thru the woods And hearing nature's sounds. Or perhaps he may be dreaming Of some fantastic thing Like knights of old or bandits bold And colorful minstrels singing. Then the school day is over; The period bell loudly rings; He makes a dash for the door And joyfully begins to sing. Gloria Tola ho INVASION The room is quiet. The report is read. The students are waiting. There’s nothing said. The buzzers buzz. And the bells ring. And everyone rushes For the door in a zing. The kids shove and push As if it’s a race; Instead of entering the hall, They invade the place. Mary E.
