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.

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.

(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.
