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.

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.

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—!!!
