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.

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?

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. Pete was a boy who backed the football team with all his worth Football has been his main interest with the beginning of school. However, the Junior C'lass also holds his interest! We can’t mention names on this “page.” Ask Pete how he gets his studying done! Now we leave him to the navy. PATRICIA LAKE College “Patty “Why hurry—irhat's the use? Interclass basketball 3, 4; Interclass volleyball 4; Glee Club I, 4, Vice- President 4; Latin Club 2, 3; Spotlight Club 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 3; Junior From 2; Sophomore Night 2; Junior Night 3; Playnite 4; “In An Old Kentucky Garden” 4; Senior Night 4; Monitor 4; Hi! Schooler 3; Senior Sampler, 4; All- state (ilee Club 4. When this little blonde winks, she gets them from six to sixty! Can you blame them? Say Patty, how’s the Coast Guard? Patty is a cute girl with a gay personality and, what’s more, she has a voice like Pons. And that’s why she has gone a long way in (ilee Club this year. If you’ve heard her voice, you know how sweet it is. We hope you continue with music, Patty, and someday, who knows, you may be a famous singer. FKNTON LAWLOR (ieneral “Red “ can be pushed just so far“ J. V. Football 1; Varsity 3, 4; Basket ball 4; Baseball 4; (ilee Club 4;(’hrist- mas Cantata 4; Faster Cantata 4; Mixed Glee Club 4; I atin Club 2, 3, 4; Spot- light Club 3, 4; Junior Prom 3; Senior Hop 3; Thanksgiving Ball 4; Hi! Schooler 3; Junior Night 3; Sophomore Night 2; Playnight 4; “Old Kentucky Garden” 4. Here, ladies and gentlemen, you have the treasure of the basketba’l team. Bed made a splendid manager and deserves credit for the wonderful job he did. Our team was safe and well-taken care of in his capable hands. 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. GERTRUDE LAWLOR General “Hetty “ hare learned In trhatsoeeer state I am to be content” Spotlight Club 3; Latin Club 3; Home Economics Club 4; A. A. Dance 3; Thanksgiving Ball 3; Senior Hop 3; Freshman Reception 4; Playnight 2, 3; Hi! Schooler 3; Home Room Representative 3; Librarian 3. This is the little girl whose heart belongs to Alstead. Doesn’t your mother get tired answering phone calls? And doesn’t Dave get tired riding his bicycle from Alstead? Oh yes, we hear that he’s got a ’41 Buick. What would the (irange do without Betty? By the way, what happened in Burlington, or don’t you care to say? You can always be sure that her week-ends are taken up. Betty’s always got that gum of hers. Good luck, and keep smiling! GEORGETTE LK BLANC College “Gette “For the present, go thy tray (ilee Club I; Latin Club 2, 3, 4; Christmas Tea Dance 3; Freshman Re- ception 4; Hi! Schooler 3. Did someone say that Gette is juiet? Oh no! Just wait until she gets started: there’s no stopping her! Especially when she insists that there’s a half inch to be added to that other sixty. How did the half-inch fare against those tall northern boys? Gette is an ideal picture of the petite French dam- sel,—cute.vivacious, intelligent, along with that certain something you hear so much about in French girls.
