Captain of the football team. 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? Interclass Volleyball 2, 8, 4; Interclass Basketball 2, 8, 4; (Bee Club 1; Band and Orchestra .8, 4; Student Director 4; Secretary 4; Latin Club 2, 8, 4; Spotlight ( lub 2, k Spanish ('lub 8, 4; Monitor 4; “Christmas Goose,” Stage 8; “Christmas Trimmings;” Stage 2; Freshman Reception 4; Pep Rally Dance 8; Junior Prom 8; Thanksgiving Ball t; Senior Hop .8; Sophomore Night 2: Junior Night 2; Hi! 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 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.

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.
